The left side of the home page offers several sections of useful links, starting with the Featured Subjects section, which allows FirstGov to highlight interesting and timely web pages and feature new government sites. The next section includes the three branches of the U.S. government. The state and local government information section includes links to economic data, military installations, national parks, a post office locator, and many other links to information and statistics organized by state. The section titled Your Feedback allows users to register complaints, report problems or offer feedback to many agencies by topic, or by the agency name itself. One can also submit feedback about the FirstGov website itself.
Page layouts are simple and clean, and graphics are kept to a minimum.
The site is a valuable resource for all reference librarians who may be searching for government information, and for all levels of users who may be searching for statistics, legislation, or consumer information.
