520    "Government data and resources are uniquely useful to 
       researchers and other library users. But without a roadmap,
       sifting through the sheer quantity of information to find 
       the right answers is foolhardy. The first edition of this 
       text is well established as an essential navigational tool
       for both LIS students and professionals; now this newly 
       revised, peer-reviewed update is even more attuned to new 
       sources and types of government information and how best 
       to locate them. Unmatched in its scope, this book covers 
       such key topics as the history of government information, 
       from its colorful beginnings to the era of Wikileaks, 
       Edward Snowden, and data breaches; how to think like a 
       government documents librarian in order to find 
       information efficiently, plus other research tips; all 
       types of law resources and information, including public 
       laws and the U.S. Code, Case Law and the judicial branch, 
       and regulations; Congressional literature, from bills and 
       committee hearings to the U.S. Congressional Serial Set; 
       patents, trademarks, and intellectual property; census 
       data, educational information, and other statistical 
       resources; health information, with an in-depth look at 
       the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the 
       trend toward and impact of online medical records; and 
       science, environmental, and energy resources from agencies
       like the Environmental Protection Agency and the 
       Department of Energy. Exercises throughout the text 
       support instruction, while the approachable and well-
       organized style make it ideal for day-to-day reference 
       use"--|cPublisher's website.
