Federal Data Users

Hi all,

please excuse the bit of advertising, but my colleague Jim Jacobs and I (yes there are 2 of us :-). He's a retired data librarian at UCSD ) recently published a book "Preserving government information: past, present, and future" that I think you and perhaps others might find interesting and useful. We're both government information/data librarians with long experience in academic libraries. 

Preserving Government Information

Preserving Government Information Preserving Government Information Past, Present, and Future by James A. Jacobs and James R. View this on Free Government Information (FGI) - Because Government information needs to be free >

 

We hope that this will help to inform the wider discussion on federal information and data policy going forward. Please let me know if you have any questions. And you can also leave comments on our blog post about the book: New from FreeGovInfo Press: "Preserving Government Information: Past, Present, and Future"
