In the news: Haiti earthquake relief

On January 12, 2010, and again on January 20, massive earthquakes struck the nation of Haiti, causing catastrophic damage inside and around the capital city of Port-au-Prince. The United States Government has mobilized resources and manpower to aid in the relief effort. In another major effort to help the people of Haiti, President Obama announced at the White House on January 16 the establishment of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. For updates on the U.S. government's Haiti relief efforts and more information on ways that you can get involved, please visit the White House's Haiti Earthquake Relief web page.

For general information about Haiti, please see the online CIA World Factbook.

For reference and research questions, visit the Middleton Reference Desk, Room 141. At the Reference Desk you can also receive help with electronic databases, including the online catalog. If you are looking for a U.S. government document that was published before 1976, it may not be listed in the online catalog. Check with the Reference Desk for assistance in identifying those publications.

The Government Documents/Microforms Collection is physically located on the Basement Level, Room 53 of Middleton Library on the LSU Campus. Once you enter the library, go to the stairwell past the information kiosk. Descend the stairs, go immediately to your right, around the corner. Proceed straight ahead.

The Depository's map collection is housed in the Cartographic Information Center in the Howe-Russell Geoscience Complex, Room 313.
