Government websites can be useful resources on a wide array of topics. Many government websites will offer information such as legislative materials, judicial decisions, and administrative law documents for free on their respective sites. However, there are so many government agencies in existence, it can be hard to know if there is an agency that covers your research focus. An easy way to check is to go to USA.gov. If users select the "About the U.S. and Its Government" tab, they'll find a link to an A-Z Index of U.S. Government Departments and Agencies.
This index provides the user with contact information for U.S. federal government departments and agencies, as well as their websites.
