Download or read book Free Government e Resources for Youth written by Dorothy Ormes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Specifically focusing on the resources on federal government available online, this book supports the education of young citizens and supplies directions for conducting programs for youth on the government. Government documents offer a wealth of useful information that is often ignored or misinterpreted—even by librarians. And while improved search engines have improved access to online documents in recent years, patrons—especially young people—typically need help navigating and understanding the sites. Free Government e-Resources for Youth helps librarians promote online government information to youth and to assist youth in using it to become informed and educated about our federal government and how it works. Author Dorothy Ormes—a Federal Depository Library Program librarian at the university level—has created a guide to government resources that public and school librarians can use to support the education of young citizens. The book covers various areas of K–12 curriculum, highlighting activities and lesson plans based on national and state standards, and gives helpful directions for creating displays and conducting programs for youth on the government. The book also provides a brief explanation of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) and describes how a public library can work with FDLP librarians or take advantage of an unprecedented opportunity to join the FDLP as active participants and benefit the community.
Download or read book Government Operations written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Government Printing Office's (GPO) Depository Library Program which makes federal agency publications accessible to the public free of charge at designated libraries throughout the country. GAO found that, with a budget of $24.7 million in 1983, GPO distributed 32 million copies of 62,000 publications to depository libraries. Some of the depositories received all publications, while others selected the types of publications that they wanted. GAO found that GPO has made a significant improvement in the operation of the program by reducing the backlog of documents to be classified and cataloged. GPO has also expended substantial effort to distribute documents as microfiche instead of in hardcopy form. GAO also found that program personnel were generally dedicated to providing a high level of service, and the services provided generally met user needs. However, GAO also found a number of activities where program efficiency and effectiveness could be further improved. GAO believes that: (1) more attention should be given to identifying agency publications for inclusion in the program; (2) GPO needs to further reduce its backlog of publications awaiting classification and cataloging; and (3) steps should be taken to improve the timeliness and accuracy of the GPO processes for distributing publications to libraries.
Download or read book Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers? Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.
