J 103.C2 as GP I&A.They are on the HSS office shelves. The handout will be corrected next week. Feel free to refer students to govpubs folks. There is also the online web guide to the Sessional Papers that Patrick and I did at http://toby.library.ubc.ca/webpage/webpage.cfm?id=536 which gives a bit more detail and picture examples of how to find Sessional Papers.
There are students looking for pre-confederation sessional papers as well.They seem to need material from the 1840s. For British material, refer them to the Irish University Press series of British parliamentary papers. Colonies: Canada. FC470 .I74 1968 on floor 1.
The Journals of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada on microfilm, AW 1 R5143 contain sessional papers from 1841(?) -1859. The papers are in the Appendices at the end of each session. The table of contents is easily browseable, giving the location on the reels by letter. The students can do this fairly easily once shown.
