    1. Hi,
      I would like to receive emails and learn more about the folks in the FGI community. I am actually taking a Government Course in grad school. I am a library director in Hanover, PA and I would like learn more about FGI.
      Thank you,
      Lisa Kane

      • Hi Lisa,

        Thanks for leaving a comment on FGI. The best way to learn about FGI is from our about us page and the FGI library where you’ll find our papers, presentations, white papers, articles and commentary. Our project kicked off with the publication in 2005 of the article “Government Information in the Digital Age: The Once and Future Federal Depository Library Program” in Journal of Academic Librarianship. This article has been on the syllabi of govt docs courses over the years, and offers a good starting point to understanding govt docs librarianship and the many issues we face these days.
