Gateways to Government Documents
Gateways are subject access tools, typically developed by university libraries to facilitate research in government documents. We recommend the following gateways as good starting points for various subject areas.

• Columbia University
  excellent attention to subject areas of interest to NDU
• Direct Search - Government (U.S. and Foreign) Information
  Gary Price, a reference librarian at George Washington University, has been compiling excellent collections of web resources for many years now. This section of Direct Search, a large and slow loading document, is another example of his collecting. Use this link to go to the front page of Direct Search for web resources in other collections.
  
• Meta-Subject Index to Government Information
  A very comprehensive subject listing and guide to college and university govdocs collections. The guide is intended to direct the user to Subject Indexes which have been created for the purpose of identifying government internet resources in a given subject area. This index currently contains 1634 entries; for instance, 18 subject collections are identified with the term 'military'.
  
• University of Michigan Documents Center
  The Documents Center Index is a central reference and referral point for government information, whether local, state, federal, foreign or international. The Document Center's Federal Government Resources, Legislative Branch, is an extensive collection of links to legislative resources. Noteworthy are links to CRS documents and OTA documents collections.
