Learn what innovative changes lie in the future of government
information The Changing Face of Government Information
comprehensively examines the way government documents' librarians
acquire, provide access, and provide reference services in the new
electronic environment. Noted experts discuss the impact electronic
materials have had on the Government Printing Office (GPO), the
reference services within the Federal Depository Library Program
(FDLP), and the new opportunities in the transition from
paper-based information policy to an electronic e-government. This
source reveals the latest changes in the field of government
documents librarianship and the knowledge and expertise needed to
teach users how to access what they need from this enormous wealth
of government information. Major changes have taken place in the
way government information is created, disseminated, accessed, and
preserved. The Changing Face of Government Information explains in
detail the tremendous change taking place in libraries and
government documents librarianship. Topics include the increasing
accessibility to the federally funded technical report literature,
information on the Patriot Act's effect on the status of libraries
in the aftermath of 9/11, the uses of Documents Data Miner (c), and
information about catalogs, indexes, and full text databases. This
book also provides a selective bibliography of print and electronic
sources about Native Americans and the Federal Government, as well
as specific sources for information about the environment, such as
EPA air data, DOE energy information, information on flora and
fauna, hazardous waste, land use, and water. Each chapter is
extensively referenced and several chapters use appendixes, tables,
and charts to ensure understanding of data. This useful book gives
readers the opportunity to learn: how the University of Oregon
successfully integrated its business reference service and map
collection into its government documents collection the results of
a survey of FDLP institutions identifying the factors contributing
to the reorganization of services details of the pilot project
undertaken by the University of Arizona Library along with the
United States Government Printing Office's Library Programs Service
to create a model for a virtual depository library which critical
features are missing in today's e-government reference service
models details of the GPO's plans to provide perpetual access to
both electronic and tangible information resourcesand the
strategies to authenticate government publications on the Internet
The Changing Face of Government Information is stimulating,
horizon-expanding reading for librarians, professors, students, and
researchers.
