Hein, 1997) plus his Internet supplements published 1997 and 1999. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 Introduction to government and government documents -- Introduction to online research -- Internet directories and portals -- Government Publishing Office indexes -- Technical report literature -- Data.gov -- Maps, GIS, and cartographic resources -- Statistics, or "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" -- Historical government documents -- Browsing by popular topics -- Contacting government agencies and Congress. 520 This handbook will show users how to do legal research in the wider and sometimes confusing world of government documents, and is organized intuitively to help the novice. Because many government documents are available freely online, this book is designed to be used in tandem with Internet resources. It can be used as a quick reference tool to navigate the citation formats and unique government information portals, to aid in understanding the material, to find related non-government resources, and to answer some subject-based questions about the availability of government documents. Appendixes cover often-used document numbers and citations, an explanation of the Freedom of Information Act and how to use it to find government documents, and further information and training resources.--Publisher. 650 0 Government information |zUnited States |vHandbooks, manuals, etc. |=^A20537 650 0 Electronic government information |zUnited States |vHandbooks, manuals, etc. |=^A406234 650 0 Government Web sites |zUnited States |vHandbooks, manuals, etc. |=^A888340 650 0 Public records |zUnited States |vHandbooks, manuals, etc. |=^A48771 650 0 Government publications |zUnited States |vHandbooks, manuals, etc. |=^A281759 650 0 Government information |zUnited States |vDirectories. |=^A20537 650 0 Electronic government information |zUnited States |vDirectories. |=^A406234 650 0 Government Web sites |zUnited States |vDirectories. |=^A888340 650 0 Public records |zUnited States |vDirectories. |=^A48771 650 0 Government publications |zUnited States |vDirectories. |=^A281759 650 7 Electronic government information. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00907235 650 7 Government information. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00945364 650 7 Government publications. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00945492 650 7 Government Web sites. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01201124 650 7 Public records. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01082850 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 655 7 Directories. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423796 655 7 Handbooks and manuals. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423877 700 1 Belniak, Theodora, |eauthor. |=^A1300042 775 08 |iRevision of:Herman, Edward, 1949- |tLocating United States government information. |dBuffalo, N.Y. : W.S.
