Web Links to Government Information
This site has been designed to aid the ACC community in
locating government information through the World Wide Web. While the Web can provide
a wealth of information, it is not always the fastest or most accurate source
of information. ACC Libraries have many print sources that contain a wealth of
government information at the national, state, and local levels. Such
information includes statistics, addresses, definitions, an electronic state
law database, and much more. Be sure to check out the sections that feature
resources available in your campus library -- it's often faster and easier!
