[CMST|4140|Kaitlin Phillips]

Identifying a Policy or Law

For your assignment, you need to find a policy or law at the federal or state level that has some connection to families.

Finding Details: Searching a Government Database

Once you have a policy in mind or to explore ideas, you can search government databases to find more information. Click the blue arrow for a help guide on searching GovInfo.

Tip:

Use Google to Search for Government Documents.

Google can be a powerful tool to find documents on government websites. Use "site:.gov" to precede your search terms to find government agency sites that pertain to your topic. Placing your search terms in quotation marks may help as well. Need additional help? Ask a Librarian.
