Welcome!
Welcome to the Government Resources research guide. The purpose of this guide is to introduce you to federal, state, local, and international government information, so you can use it for your class assignments, projects. teaching, and scholarship.
Much government information is still of the highest quality, collected and published by experts in science, business, health, and other fields. However, due to the political climate, researchers should not cite government data alone unless there is no other source. When including government information in a project, researchers should include additional types of sources as well, such as scholarly books and peer-reviewed journal articles. Your Librarian can provide more guidance with government information, or you can Ask Olin for further assistance.
Timeless: Blog from the Library of Congress
Government information can take many forms and encompass any subject and scope. As an introduction, below is the latest post from Timeless: Stories from the Library of Congress. This is the Library's main blog, but it has many other blogs on maps, law, and other subjects. Many other federal agencies maintain blogs, which can be a useful entry point for finding journal articles, books, and more on paper topics.
