Government information is a good source for statistics, primary resources, laws, historic records, country descriptions, technical reports, and information on controversial policy issues. Government publications are sources that are published by government bodies, at the national, state, regional, county, city or international level, instead of private publishers. Most publications are in book or pamphlet form, others are published as maps, videos, periodicals, and posters. Government publications come in a variety of formats including paper, CD-ROMs, microfiche, and materials located on the World Wide Web.
