Government data and resources are uniquely useful to researchers and other library users. But without a roadmap, sifting through the sheer quantity of information to find the right answers is foolhardy. The first edition of this text is well established as an essential navigational tool for both LIS students and professionals; now this newly revised, peer-reviewed update is even more attuned to new sources and types of government information and how best to locate them. Unmatched in its scope, this book covers such key topics as the history of government information, from its colorful beginnings to the era of Wikileaks, Edward Snowden, and data breaches;how to think like a government documents librarian in order to find information efficiently, plus other research tips;all types of law resources and information, including public laws and the U.S. Code, Case Law and the judicial branch, and regulations;Congressional literature, from bills and committee hearings to the U.S. Congressional Serial Set;patents, trademarks, and intellectual property;census data, educational information, and other statistical resources;health information, with an in-depth look at the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the trend toward and impact of online medical records; and science, environmental, and energy resources from agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.Exercises throughout the text support instruction, while the approachable and well-organized style make it ideal for day-to-day reference use.

Fundamentals of Government Information is an excellent guide to government documents. Its focus on digital government information makes it relevant to researchers, but library collections with significant print holdings should also retain older government information guides.

Excerpt from The Fundamentals of American Government: Including the Great Documents on Which Its Institutions Are Founded and the Statutes Relating to Naturalization and Expatriation, With an Introduction and Explanatory Notes The title of the book shows what it is, or, at least, what it is intended to be. It is prepared primarily for the information of foreigners intending to become Ameri can citizens; but it is hoped that it will also be useful to experienced citizens, and to native Americans coming into citizenship. The chief purpose of the book is the presentation in convenient form of the four great docu ments which compose the foundation of our government, namely, Magna Charta, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution of the United States. These have been preceded by a gen eral introduction, in which I have tried to set forth, as briefly as practicable, the elements of our system of gov ernment, the relations sustained by the states to one another and to the nation, and also some Observations on the rights, privileges, immunities, and duties of citizens.
