Our mission

Free Government Information (FGI) is a place for initiating dialogue and building consensus among the various players (libraries, government agencies, non-profit organizations, researchers, journalists, etc.) who have a stake in the preservation of and perpetual free access to government information. FGI promotes free government information through collaboration, education, advocacy and research.

Karen G. Schneider on LOCKSS

Karen explains LOCKSS software clearly and succinctly — its technology, costs, benefits, and purpose. She compares LOCKSS and Portico, too.

[Libraries] have never before owned so little of the content they manage. LOCKSS offers one solution… [T]he use of LOCKSS for preserving local born-digital content — with a free download, plus one morning’s worth of time — is certainly worth a spin around the block.
