UKOP is currently only available in Exeter and Barnstaple Libraries. Please use our online enquiry service if you need help tracing an official publication but cannot get to one of these libraries. Exeter Reference Library also holds a large collection of printed official publications.

Access to UKOP is by username and password so you will need to ask a member of staff to login for you. It is possible, however, to browse the catalogue by the name of the government department or agency without having to be logged in. Departments or agencies which no longer exist are also included.
