Abstract
Governments have increased transparency and access to scientific and technical information, providing information professionals with new sources of information. For those using US government databases, this appears to be a daunting task. This article reviews some lesser-known resources, with an exploration of the US government's evolution from a dispersed information system to a centralised federated database and portal-based system.
