This review is from: Government Information on the Internet (Paperback)

Now in a newly updated and expanded fifth edition, Government Information On The Internet is a solid, thorough, accessibly organized reference book of World Wide Web sites corresponding to countless institutions of the American Government, as well as state and local government information, and a special section of government information for numerous nations around the world from Albania to Zimbabwe. Solid, detailed descriptions of what each governmental web site has to offer as well as an index for quick and easy reference make Government Information On The Internet a first-class reference for anyone who has to look up specific facts relatively quickly. Government Information On The Internet is specially recommended as a resource for college and community libraries that offer public Internet access.
