U.S. government information has undergone a significant transformation, shifting from predominantly print-based materials to digital formats. This transition has introduced challenges related to the stability and accessibility of online government information, which is increasingly influenced by the priorities and agendas of the executive branch, which governs key agencies such as the Department of Education. As digital government information becomes more vulnerable to removal or alteration, a critical question emerges: how can researchers continue to access essential government data relevant to the social and behavioral sciences?
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to identify and utilize U.S. government information resources available through the USC Libraries. Additionally, participants will gain an understanding of national data preservation initiatives and explore publicly accessible alternatives to support their research needs.
