U.S. GOVERNMENTS PUBLICATIONS

The U.S. Government puts out publications on a wide variety of topics, and can be an excellent source when researching a topic for your articles or books. The Catalog of United States Government Publications gives a list of all the publications available. One of the advantages of quoting from these publications is that you do not have to seek permission or pay a fee for those quotes. However, you do need to give credit in your foot notes or bibliography. For guidelines on how to write the citation, go to: http://www.memphis.edu/govpub/citweb.php.
