Some of the best information on the Internet is coming from the U.S. Government. To provide for an open society, all branches of government are mandated to disseminate information via the Internet. The key to success in finding government information is to know the agency responsible for producing the document sought or visit a comprehensive site that might link to the appropriate document. If you have trouble locating an agency, consult the Federal Government page; it is arranged by branch of government. These links will all lead directly to the text of documents. Of course, if you have any questions, ask or e-mail a librarian.
