Mastering United States Government Information by Christopher C Brown
The second edition of an award-winning text on government information for information professionals and those researching all branches of the US government.
I can't recommend Chris Brown's Mastering United States Government Information enoughHis mastery of this important topic is unparalleled, and his enthusiasm for it is infectious. He brings to life a subject that, in lesser hands, could seem dreadfully dull. Brown's work is the standard for which all other works on government information must be measured. * John Cannan, Faculty Scholarship Librarian & Legal Research Instructor, Villanova University, Charles Widger School of Law *
What entities make the law and what do their rules say? Who lives in the country and under what social and economic conditions? How are decisions made, and how are they implemented and enforced? Ready access to such information is essential to U.S. democracy, as are the librarians responsible for ensuring such access for the public. Written in an engaging and informative style, Christopher C. Brown's government information course in book form is as useful for the subject specialist as it is for the generalist in charge of government information by accident. * Emily Drabinski, Associate Professor, Queens College, City University of New York, USA *
Mastering United States Government Information, Second Edition, is an indispensable resource for navigating the vast and ever-evolving landscape of federal government publications. Chris Brown is an expert whose clear explanations, practical strategies, and thorough coverage of legislative, executive, and judicial sources make his work an essential resource for libraries and anyone seeking to understand government information. This edition not only updates key research tools and methodologies but also emphasizes the critical role of government information professionals in ensuring access to public knowledge. Whether you're a librarian, researcher, student, or anyone seeking to understand government information, Brown’s guide is an essential companion for mastering the complexities of U.S. government information. * Andrea M. Morrison and Jennifer Bryan Morgan, Library Faculty and Professors of Information and Library Science, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA *
