How to search for Government Information

There are several types of information available to Government students through the ACC libraries, both in print form and electronically. The tabs along the top of the page provide details on the different types of resources listed below:

 

Books You can find a good selection of Government books in our collection. A book can provide detailed background and in-depth historical information about any given topic.
Reference Books This covers encyclopedias, atlases, and other resources that are referred to for specific information. Go to these for definitions, shorter explanations, quick historical and biographical sketches.
Articles Articles from journals, magazines, and major newspapers are a good source for recent developments and current issues in government. ACC's electronic resources can help connect you to these articles.
Web Sites The internet can provide a wealth of information, especially from government sources and professional organizations.
