Looking for government info?
If you're looking for government information online, consider using Google's special government search option. The site, (www.google.com/unclesam) specifically searches .gov and .mil (versus .com and .edu) sites.
Check out Google's Uncle Sam search.
(Of course, don't forget about the Libraries' Government Information Research Guide.)
