Fundamentals of Government Information: Mining, Finding, Evaluating, and Using Government Resources: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Fundamentals of Government Information: Mining, Finding, Evaluating, and Using Government Resources" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Government data and resources are uniquely useful to researchers and other library users. But without a roadmap, sifting through the sheer quantity of information to find the right answers is foolhardy. The first edition of this text is well established as an essential navigational tool for both LIS students and professionals; now this newly revised, peer-reviewed update is even more attuned to new sources and types of government information and how best to locate them. Unmatched in its scope, this book covers such key topics as the history of government information, from its colorful beginnings to the era of Wikileaks, Edward Snowden, and data breaches; how to think like a government documents librarian in order to find information efficiently, plus other research tips; all types of law resources and information, including public laws and the U.S. Code, Case Law and the judicial branch, and regulations; Congressional literature, from bills and committee hearings to the U.S. Congressional Serial Set; patents, trademarks, and intellectual property; census data, educational information, and other statistical resources; health information, with an in-depth look at the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the trend toward and impact of online medical records; and science, environmental, and energy resources from agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. Exercises throughout the text support instruction, while the approachable and well-organized style make it ideal for day-to-day reference use.

CASSANDRA HARTNETT AND ANDREA SEVETSON
For decades, librarians in all settings have known that government information is an integral part of their work. Examples include public librarians who assist users with consumer questions, job seeking, special queries at tax and election time, or applying for government benefits; community college librarians who discover that the Congressional Research Service offers the best concise overviews of controversial topics; academic librarians who are often amazed that a high percentage of their grand collections are in fact government holdings; law librarians who help users find government cases, legislation, and regulations; and medical librarians who have built an entire intellectual framework around the government-produced PubMed database.
Our ardent belief is that greater knowledge of government resources can strengthen the skills of any librarian. Fundamentals of Government Information: Mining, Finding, Evaluating, and Using Government Resources (2nd edition) introduces librarians, library and information science students, educators, and information seekers of all kinds to the world of government material. Far from dry, dusty documents, todays government offerings are deep, far-reaching, and ultimately essential to an informed citizenry, a true democracy, and outstanding library collections and services.
The book provides the reader with the following:
models and techniques for discovery of government information
insight into the popular and research value of government publications
experience acquiring new skills in a simple, sequential manner, reinforced by exercises
