Abstract: Through a citation analysis of dissertations at Mississippi State 
University from 2000-2004, the author examines doctoral students' use of 
federal government publications as bibliographic references in light of the 
ongoing migration of these sources to the Internet. The study indicates an 
increase in the use of federal government documents in Web formats but an 
overall decrease in the use of these materials as a whole.
