GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS AND RESOURCES with Miriam Kahn, MLS, MBK Consulting

Government information is now more accessible than ever via the World Wide
Web, yet the breadth and volume can be overwhelming.  This workshop will
help you find facts, statistics, and legislative information about Federal,
State, and Local agencies and governments.  It will help you access
government information resources more efficiently.  Learn and evaluate
‘official’ and ‘unofficial’ sites such as GPO Access and Thomas.  Surf for
legislative information using Legal and Government search engines and
indices.  Learn how to use other sources of information such as Statistical
Abstracts, Business Census, FindLaw and many others.

These workshops will be held at OVAL, 252 W. 13th Street, Wellston, Ohio {
