How to Find Government Information

WebJunction provides a continuing education program for library workers on how to find and use government information called Gi21. There is plenty of information to explore in a variety of categories.

According to the website, "current funding for the Gi21 program ended on September 30, 2008, and the information found in the program modules is up-to-date as of December 31, 2008." Hopefully, it will be updated in the future, but until then the information is quite useful.
