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:

Learn about government documents, and how they contribute to the research process.
