Document:
Here are some selected books and legal articles on the subject of Freedom of Information and related secrecy issues, with a focus on the U.S. statute at the federal agency level rather than international or local aspects. Sources include some legal bibliographic indexes. I have tried to select the most useful references from that list. Even if you keep up on FOIA matters, this list probably contains a few materials you’ve missed. Also included are a number of links to useful FOIA websites.
