The 30th Federal Library Resources

The 30th Institute on Federal Library Resources will be held May 12 - 17 at The Catholic University of America. (For credit)

Through lectures, panel discussions, and on-site visits to libraries in the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government, participants will gain an understanding of federal library resources.  Instructional visits provide an opportunity to observe and use the resources and learn from the data source managers.  Special topics include how general federal and military libraries are meeting today's challenging demands in the areas of content management, E-Government and metrics requirements, and competitive sourcing.   The Institute will also address the professional career path in Federal Librarianship.
