A continuing education program to train reference and public services librarians and library workers in the use of government information
The Government Information in the 21st Century Program (Gi21) was made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services. Additional support was provided by the University of Colorado at Boulder as well as Arizona State Library, Archives, and Public Records; New Mexico State Library; Wyoming State Library; and University of Utah.
The Gi21 program ran from September 1, 2006 to September 30, 2008. Government information librarians and staff created and used the modules within this section as the basis for training other library staff to enhance their knowledge and confidence with using electronic government information. Gi21 trainers provided 75 training events in five states and over the course of the grant, they presented 149 subject modules to over 900 librarians and library workers. Resource information is available in the modules listed to the left. Training materials can be found on the Training Sessions page.
New documents can be posted from each module and sub-module main pages and pages are being updated as time allows.
