LibGuides: SCWK 550/650 (All Classes): Government Documents & Statistical Information

Government & Statistical Information

All levels of government - international, federal, state, and local - produce a large range of documents, policy and research reports, and statistics.

In fact, the federal government is the largest collector of statistics in the country.

Many if not most government documents are now distributed on the Internet.

USA.gov
As the U.S. government's official web portal, USA.gov facilitates public access to U.S. government information and services on the web.

For more information and assistance, you may want to check out the links on FLITE's government documents webpage or make an appointment to talk with FLITE's government documents librarian.

End of Term Web Archive
The End of Term Web Archive captures and saves U.S. Government websites at the end of presidential administrations. The EOT has thus far preserved websites from administration changes in 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024.
