Finding U.S. Documments
Any research on globalization topics should include exploration of federal documents. Texas State University is a selective depository for U.S. Government documents and information. This means we have access to a wealth of information produced by the government in both print and electorninc form. Increasingly, these documents will appear in the online catalog but, be aware that many documents in the collection are NOT found in the catalog. The best place to start your research is at the Government Information Desk on the 4th floor in consultation with one of our staff.
You may also search the Catalog of of Government Publications database as a starting point for your research. Here you will find links to many documents in electronic format, as well as references to print matierals dating back to 1976.

Two of the insights that I think we often miss are that our partners have a say in the process and that we need to manage the process as an integrated portfolio and make investment/reinvestment decisions based upon capability objectives that we and our partners agree upon. The U.S. military simply cannot engage alone. Partnership must be planned and executed in order to set meaningful objectives as well as to synchronize available resources to achieve them.
