U.S. Government on the Web

This guide to finding government information on the web serves as a directory, but also as a map to the government's structure and as a play-book outlining strategies for locating information. The material is organized according to the branch of government and agency, the means of finding it, the type of information, its subject, and its audience. The authors include librarians, library administrators, and professors of library science. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
