Reviews and Comments

The author's thoroughness is remarkable. . . . It should be purchased by every library, large and small, that acquires government publications.
—Joe Morehead. The Serials Librarian

“Notess's useful guide to government information resources on the Internet has grown and improved . . . insightful, critical annotations.”
— Rettig on Reference review of 2nd ed. (See also review of 1st ed.)

“The author has greatly assisted all librarians who are interested in incorporating government information into their virtual collection or online catalog.”
— CHOICE

“Because comparing sites on the Internet is difficult, this book allows a user to identify and compare potential sites prior to even going online...an excellent resource.”
— Journal of Government Information

“An invaluable resource for both librarian and researcher. It contains a wealth of information, is well-organized, and is amply indexed.”
— College and Research Libraries

The sixth edition came out in 2003, updated by a new editor, Peggy Garvin, but it is still based on the work I did on the first three editions.
