The Government Printing Office

Wednesday Web Wrap-up For February 21, 2007

GPO (Government Printing Office) Access, this week’s Wrap-up is the publisher and distributor of information created by the United States. To fully appreciate all that is available through the GPO, you might plan on spending some time exploring the various paths beginning with the many links found on the main portal page. For example, “Legislative Resources” include the complete Congressional Record back to 1994.

If you have an immediate research question that might relate to very recent American History or a current issue or require the use of primary documents, follow this path from the main portal: Catalog of Government Publication >>>> Advanced Search. You will come to a search interface that is fairly to use and facilitates any number of search strategies. Most of what you will find is full text.
