When looking for U.S. Government Information it is important to consider who produced the information you are looking for? The United States Federal Government is divided into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. Each Branch is then further subdivided into agencies, lower courts, committees, etc. Information from these branches exists in different places and where you look for the information will depend who produced it.
Each page in this Guide will provide you resources to search for information published by each of the three branches of the United States Federal Government.
