Government Information Reading List

I know at least a few of you are government employees and/or librarians. So, this post is for you!

Remember the grade school days when someone put together a reading list for you? You were given a list of books and, upon completion of the list, you were up to date with what you needed to know for that semester. I often find myself wishing someone would give me a daily reading list to keep me up to date in the research world! I have my standard daily reads, but I am always afraid I might be missing something. There are so many excellent resources out there that one could spend an entire day just browsing....

Well, you government folks are in luck! Chris Zammarelli, of the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Central Library, recently wrote a three part article on different sources for government information news. It is an informative article and can be read here, here and here. It is a great resource to use in making or adding to your own reading list!

In addition to several government news sites and resources, he also makes mention of the Government Info Pro blog. This blog, authored by the fabulous Marie Kaddell, is on my list of daily reads. Marie is always blogging from a conference or discussing new resources or articles. Her writing, while entertaining and casual, is always informative. A great addition to anyone's reading list!

If any of you have daily "must-reads", I would love to hear about them. Feel free to comment or drop me a line at kate@monroe-info.com . Thanks for reading, and I will blog to you soon!
