Subject: Gov Info textbook chapter available

At Western Washington University, librarians take turns teaching Library 201, Introduction to Research Strategies.  It is a 4 credit GUR course (General University Requirement; each student must take some GURs, but not all of them.)

We just created a free electronic textbook for the course.  It is very much geared to Western's students and resources, but any school is welcome to borrow/build/steal the contents.

I wrote Chapter 7, Government Information:  http://cedar.wwu.edu/research_process/7/
"Chapter 07 - Government Sources" by Robert Lopresti <http://cedar.wwu.edu/research_process/7/>
cedar.wwu.edu
Learn about government documents, and how they contribute to the research process.
