GILS,Government Information Locator Service: Blending Old and New to Access U.S. Governmental Information

Summary

U.S. government information resources, because of their vast quantity and lack of organization, and because of redundancies among agencies, have never been simple to locate.

This workshop explained the legislation behind the making of GILS, described its mission, and demonstrated actual searches for government information using the locator service.     

Access to U.S. Government Periodicals in Health Sciences Libraries
