There is a wealth of information from the United States government on the Internet. In fact there are so many gateways to get to the information that you seek, we are listing a few of the more comprehensive and/or easy to use:

First Gov
http://firstgov.gov/
Searchable gateway to Federal Government resources on the Web.

GPO Access
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/index.html
The definitive source of general information on the provider of US Government information to the public either directly or through any of the 1,400 Federal Depository Libraries located throughout the country. This is the next best thing to going to a US Government Bookstore.

GPO Locator Tools and Services
http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/lts.html
These locator tools, developed by GPO and partners, link to government information products in the Federal Depository Library Program Electronic Collection (FDLP/EC) and at other Federal government agency sites. Tools to find products in depository libraries or for sale at GPO are also included.

Ben's Guide to U.S. Government
http://bensguide.gpo.gov/
" This GPO website provides learning tools for K-12 students, parents, and teachers. These resources will teach how our government works, the use of the primary source materials of GPO Access, and how one can use GPO Access to carry out their civic responsibilities. And, just as GPO Access provides locator services to U.S. Government sites, Ben's Guide provides a similar service to U.S. Government Web sites developed for kids."
