Overview
The Gi21 IMLS Grant Project features training on the wide range of electronic government sources in an array of subject areas. But what if someone doesn't understand government information, or would like a good introduction to the most general sources that cover many topics?
This module is designed to provide a general introduction to government information, as well as to present the most useful electronic resources -- great tools to teach others during Gi21 Training and beyond.
