Many
valuable sources of information provided by the federal government are impacted
by the current lapse in appropriated funding.
Some online resources are no longer available, while others will not be
updated. The U.S. Census Bureau is
providing access to American Fact Finder, but other resources like Historical
Censuses and the North American Industry Classification System are inaccessible.
The Library of Congress will continue to offer access to Thomas.gov and
beta.Congress.gov. Limited updates will
be made to PubMed.gov during the shutdown and the database is still available
to researchers. The Federal Digital
System, the main resource for government documents, will receive updates to
Congressional materials and the Federal Register only. For guidance seeking alternative resources
for you or your students, please contact your Library Liaison.
