 An International Review of Policy, Issues and Resources
Description
As of 2005, title merged into Government Information Quarterly
The Journal of Government Information
publishes original scholarship, studies, and evaluations related to the production, distribution, availability, selection, processing,
and use of government information at all levels of government. This includes reports, analysis, and discussion of government information
policy, current practice, new developments, and trends affecting the availability of and access to government information, as well as
the related historical context of such activities. Also included are discussions of instructional issues and
methodologies related to
government information and its role in the educational process.
The Journal of Government Information is international in
coverage, including articles about international and inter-governmental organization policies and practices related to information. The Journal provides a forum to present views and to illustrate how government-produced information is central to effective problem
solving and to clarify and examine those ideas and procedures that hold the greatest potential for improving or hindering access to and
use of government information.
The Journal of Government Information provides readers with valuable resource material to
select and evaluate information related to government information access through a series of regular columns and features:
•

Each issue includes reviews of monographs, documents, reference works, and electronic resources, including
CD-ROM and World Wide Web resources.
