Government information

Respond to one or more of the prompts below and to your classmates' posts.

Think about the government shutdown last year. When this occurred many research resources (not to mention ongoing projects) where shut down. Do you think that the federal government is a reliable provider of information? Why or why not?

Some other questions to possibly reflect on:

• What sources for government documents might be useful for your bibliography?
• Share your thoughts and reactions to Data.gov. What have you found out? What is confusing? How could this be useful?
