The Government Information Department has been discussing with Loan including new documents in the New Book Room, and it has finally happened. You will find a rotating selection of some of the many topics that comprise government information. The documents have a New Book Room temporary catalog location just like the other materials in the room and can be checked out directly at the Loan Desk.

We will also continue to display additional new documents on the shelf outside the Data Center, though they obviously won’t say New Book Room if you look at their catalog records. And don’t forget our featured maps, usually related to some current event, located next to the shelf.

You may have noticed that Rob Wolff features some new (or newly discovered by us) online-only government information resources on the library home page — they usually debut on our own department home page as well.

The U.S. government is the world’s largest publisher, so there’s a good chance you’ll find something interesting and useful. As always, let us know if we can help you explore the sometimes arcane world of docs.

Take a look at the new featured resource, The National Marine Sanctuaries Media Library. This site is an online “vault” where a comprehensive collection of select video clips and high-resolution still images from America’s underwater treasures are securely stored and available for searchable access and download.
