- Publications, Information, Documents – the materials published by the government for public dissemination. Typically what we get in libraries Declassification is the process of documents that formerly were classified becoming available to the public, under the principle of freedom of information . Procedures for declassification vary by country. Public records refers to information that has been filed or recorded by local, state, federal or other government agencies, such as corporate and property records. Public records are created by the federal and local government, (vital records, immigration records, real estate records, driving records, criminal records, etc.) or by the individual (magazine subscriptions, voter registration, etc.). Most essential public records are maintained by the government and many are accessible to the public either free-of-charge or for an administrative fee. Availability is determined by federal, state, and local regulations.
- Talk about the relation of gov info publishing and news sources.
- Primary Source material Provides authoritative overview or background information for an area (Country Reports, CIA World FactBook, Statistical Abstract, Census) Usually copyright and cost free – except for born digital where printing costs are passed on to users. Many agency sites have strong legal requirements for authenticity and accuracy (we won’t get into the politics of the current administration…which could challenge that…) Covers every discipline and subject imaginable: Arts (NEA) to Sciences It affects us all – news, food we eat, air we breathe, cars we drive, beds we sleep in, people in our neighborhoods, etc. Encourages civic participation – Public Comments, write your elected officials (Save Internet Radio! Internet RADIO EQUALITY ACT, S. 1353 IN THE SENATE AND H.R. 2060 IN THE HOUSE) Major research grant funding source and research output– catalog of federal domestic assistance, NIH.
