摘要：Eric J. Forte and his team have written a very useful guide on the use of federal government information resources for providing library information services. The text aims to fill the void in the coverage of government information production, publication, and access that took place during the twenty-first century. During the first decade of the new century, a paradigm shift from the print world to online occurred in rapid fashion. As the Federal Depository Library program shifted from print to online, government documents librarians around the country retired or were reassigned, and print collections were de-accessioned. New research skills and tools are needed to answer reference questions and support the research needs of public, academic, and special libraries. Classic sources on government documents went into revision to keep pace with these rapid changes.
