4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Overview,
By
This review is from: Tapping the Government Grapevine: The User-Friendly Guide to U.S. Government Information Sources^LThird Edition (Paperback)
Great book, but the web addresses are about 80% out of date and not working. This is able to be worked around though. I had to buy this for class and I will keep it as a good reference as Robinson writes in a clear and logical way.
5.0 out of 5 stars
The first exciting government documents book ever!,
This review is from: Tapping the Government Grapevine: User-friendly Guide to US Government Information Sources (Paperback)
Robinson brings to life the world of government documents in her exceptional work covering various important government issues such as the Government Printing Office, depository libraries, statistics, patents, trademarks, and copyrights, legislative, judicial and presidential information sources and much, much more. Robinson makes what would normally be bland information fun and interesting complete with graphs, recommended internet sights, and famous quotes from well-known government figures. I would highly recommend it for anyone entering the field of library science.
