Description: "This website is a "private-public partnership" with a vision to connect "the world to all U.S. Government information and services." It has a user-friendly interface with both a simple and advanced search function. In the center of the home page (in Yahoo style) is a subject guide listing topics such as "Money and Taxes" and "Business and Economy." These subject headings lead to more specific areas and links. This allows the user to locate information without necessarily knowing the government organization's name. A sidebar on the home page also facilitates access by "featured subjects," "government by organization" links, "transactions, forms & services" links, and "contact your government" links. Users at all levels will find this site easy to navigate" "Best Free Reference Web Sites 2001," RUSA Quarterly, Fall 2001; reviewed Apr. 3, 2001.
