This week the volunteers at Free Government Information (FGI) (http://freegovinfo.info)
were busy as we greeted August Blogger of the Month Peggy Garvin and updated our Best titles ever! page with more cover art and more titles suggested by govdoc-l members.
Peggy has already jumped in with these postings:
- Harris Corp Gets FDsys Contract
- Lunch with a Lobbyist
- USDOT and Transpo Libraries – Comments on Strategic plan
If you don’t read anything else at Free Government Information this week, read Peggy’s “Lunch with a Lobbyist” post. It has a lot to say about librarians and what we need to do!
While Peggy got an early start on her blogging, the FGI volunteers started the following discussions we hope you will join:
- UK’s Domesday Book now online – James R.
- 50-State Blue Book updated – now includes South Carolina info – Daniel
- Millions of people looking at records through FOIA, backlogs continue to rise – Daniel
- Run for your lives! The forests are blogging! – Daniel
- Not Just Blogs: Issues – Access – Daniel
- Peggy Garvin, BOTM for August, 2006 – James R.
As Peggy reported, the FDSys blog announced the selection of a master integrator for the Future Digital System. The announcement appears to tie authentication directly to retrieval from FDSys and supports a centralized model of government information.
No activity was observed at the main main FDSys site during the past week.
