 Good morning, and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I am your host, Christa Burns, here at the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is the commission's weekly online event. We'll cover anything that may be of interest to librarians, both in Nebraska and across the country. We do these sessions live every Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. central time, but they are recorded. So if you ever need to watch, if you aren't able to join us on Wednesday, you can always watch our recordings that are available on our website. All the way back when we started in January 2009, everything is there on our website. We do all sorts of things on Encompass Live, interviews, web tours, mini-training sessions, presentations. Basically, if anything's vaguely related to libraries, I'll put it on the show. And we do bring in guest speakers from outside, but we also have commission staff that do some presentations as well. And that's what we have today. Sitting to my left is Laura Johnson, who is the CE Continuing Education Coordinator here at the Nebraska Library Commission. And this is the third in her three-part series, the last one, about government information online. The information you can find about federal government agencies and departments and anything on the web. So this is part three. There's two previous ones. The recordings are available out there. If you want to go and watch them, you don't have to watch them in order. There's three separate things talking about different areas of the government, but they are together. Cover hopefully everything with the fingers. That's as close as we can get. Yeah, okay. So go ahead and take it away, Laura. Thank you very much, Christa. Hi, I am Laura. We're going to talk today about independent agencies and government corporations. Part one talked about cabinet departments. Part two talked about the legislative and judicial branches and the White House. And part three is the independent agencies. These are also part of the executive branch. And, well, it turns out this isn't everything, but it's going to be... I didn't want to do a trilogy that became a... What did they call that? A set of four. Offers seem to do that all the time. But I didn't look in my trilogy. Yeah, I didn't want to do that. So before I got started, last time I talked a lot about Thomas. The utility that the Library of Congress puts out to get legislative information out. And I stole the virtues. Well, that very same day. I mean, that afternoon, we saw an announcement that they are going to have a new thing called Congress.gov. It won't be replacing Thomas until the end of 2014, so we have a little while yet. But you might want to take a look at Congress.gov, because it too will be a way to access legislative information. It makes it much easier to find that information. We just wanted to bring that up. Most of the information I'm presenting today, you can kind of find in two places. The United States government manual, a venerable print reference, is on one, and you can find lists of independent agencies there, which you can also find them on USA.gov. And I thought USA.gov was, well, really, when you really get into it, it's pretty spiffy. So I thought most of this I've done on slides, because slides are just extra in doing it live on the internet. But I thought we might go live to USA.gov so we could show some things about it. As standard government issue kind of, it has several different pictures on the front, all of them you'd see the government agencies see too. But you can get services, so you can look it up, and if you go for more services here, there's a huge long list of things, and for instance, clinical trial eligibility, consumer publications for online shopping, copyrights, credit cards, how to file a complaint, farmers markets near you, federal forms, gas prices in your area. So there's quite the variety of stuff that you can find that the government provides. Then you can, they have a lot. You can explore topics. And if you go for a topic, let's look at travel and recreation, that sounds like fun. They have a lot of links to various subjects. So if we look at, oh, how about, then they have links to a bunch of things that the government provides on international travel. So if you want passport, then this is how to get a passport. So they really, they've given us several ways to access information. You can access it by services you need, by the topic. You can find government agencies. And if we go for federal government, the executive branch, then the executive branch is made up of several parts. And we can look at independent agencies and government corporations. And that takes us, oh, well, we've got boards, commissions, committees, but I won't complain. You see a list of those. So, you know, by agency, here's the independent agencies. Now, I will not cover all the independent agencies today, because you can see they're already quite a lot of them. But I think we'll give you an idea of them. At least now you know where to go to find other agencies. Well, that's, I really recommend this USA.gov. It's really nice. They even give you links to state and local government. And, for instance, and then you can contact government and they give you a lot of contacts. So they're really trying to provide an access point to government information. And I think they do a fairly decent job. And we'll go back to the slides now. This, as I said, is USA.gov. They also provide kids.gov. So, they're very conscious of trying to provide information to children and for teachers. And so, a lot of the websites we look at will have something for kids. This, I thought this was kind of cool. The president post, whoops, that didn't, well, that's right, these are slides, I can't click on it. The president poster, I did print it out as a PDF. And it's sort of a how to get to be president if you want to be president. You can order it and they'll send it to you. But you also can print it out if you need it right away. So, you know, they're kind of trying to provide information. Okay, now one of the things that I cover in here today is the Smithsonian Institution, which is not technically one of these independent agencies. But I thought it was so cool and it wasn't anywhere else that we probably ought to cover it. The Smithsonian Institution is, of course, a group, really, of 19 museums and the zoo and then there are other research institutions as well. It was started with a request by British scientist James Smithson in 1826 and he left his entire state to the U.S. to start a museum basically. The Smithsonian website is huge. There are a lot of really interesting studies. You could just get lost there and spend days because it's super fascinating. This is all the museums and the zoo that they have. So, the Cooper Hewitt, but they also have the Smithsonian Institution building in the Indian Museum, the Air and Space Museum. It's just pretty unique. One of the things they have online is what they call the Encyclopedia Smithsonian, which helps you find some of the information they have online and provided. For instance, I searched here about textiles and here's a little article about how to store antique textiles at home. So, you can get this kind of information, which I think is really pretty interesting and very, very useful. They also have the Smithsonian Library and the library has a directory of library and archival exhibitions on the web. I did a search for, I think it was for clothing. We found quite a few. These were from all over the world. Here's the first one from the Museum of London and I clicked on a few of them just to see what I was getting and, well, they were fabulous. And I lost a few minutes, but then I got it back and I didn't have time to search all of them in depth, but really, these exhibitions online are just beautiful. And just show some extraordinary things. So, I thought this was very cool and something that you might want to use. They also have tools for the researcher. If you want to search their library catalogs, if you want to search some of their archives, the Smithsonian's huge archives, they tell you how to do it, how to borrow things from them. Okay. The next thing is the National Jowment for the Arts. This time I tried to kind of arrange things by subject, sort of group things a little bit, so they're not strictly alphabetical. And I don't know how well this really worked, but we'll give it a shot. The National Jowment for the Arts is basically meant to support the arts. They give out grants. Their budget request for this school year 2013 was $154 million, which sounds like a lot, but you know, it's a very small amount of government budget overall. So, you know, and it's pretty nice that we can support the arts a little bit, and it makes us feel like we're getting a little civilized. The National Jowment for the Humanities. They say the term humanity includes, but this is a quote, but is not limited to the study and interpretation of the following. Language, linguistic, literature, history, jurisprudence, philosophy, archeology, comparative religion, ethics, the history, criticism, and theory of the arts, those aspects of social sciences which have humanistic content and employ humanistic methods, and the study and application of the humanities to the human environment, and that was kind of an abridgment of that. But they do some studies and things, but mostly again, they give grants to support the humanities, and curiously enough, their budget request was $454 million. The next thing is the National Archives and Records Administration, and this is where they keep their records. They make a point of saying that they don't keep all records forever, they try to keep what they think are important. They have military records. They have the Census Bureau, which is part of the Department of Commerce, as we saw in our first presentation. They take the census. Then by law, that census cannot disclose information about any individuals for 72 years. So, the 1940 census from 72 years ago was opened just this year, and now genealogists can get in there and find information about the individuals who reported to that census. We actually did a encompass live about that as well, so if you look at the information, you can go back and look at the archives. But it is the National Archive that has that not the Census Bureau. They also have, for reasons that I'm not completely clear on, the Electoral College. Now, of course, the Electoral College is sort of in the news right now because we're going to be needing it in a couple of weeks. Basically, after an election, each state electors from the party that won, except for Nebraska name. Nebraska name will actually split their vote. Each state gets the number of electors that is the number of their representatives and the House of Representatives plus their two senators. So, Nebraska has five electoral votes, and we will split them up by congressional districts. So, for instance, in the 2008 election, Mr. Obama did get one electoral vote from Nebraska's district here at the second legislative district. So, it's actually the electors who elect the president. There are, of course, movements to reform the Electoral College as we always want to reform everything, but right now, this is the deal, and that's where the Electoral College is in the National Archives. And the next thing is the Institute of Museum and Library Services, something that's been used to us. They, of course, give us grants for our statistics, and that's one thing I did want to show you because I think it's very, very cool, is the Compare Public Library utility. You can go in there, select the libraries you want to compare, and see how their statistics won't compare. This is another place where you can spend a lot of time, but it's very useful to be able to do a little benchmarking and see how your library is doing, compared to other libraries of the same size and with the same kind of budget. So, this community is very useful, too. I wanted to point it out. Okay, now we're leaving the humanities, and we're moving to the Director of National Intelligence. This is fairly recent. It used to be that the CIA did National Intelligence, which they still do, but the Director of National Intelligence, this office has kind of created to coordinate the work of 17 agencies and organizations. So, it's Air Force Intelligence, the Department of the Treasury, Army Intelligence, Drug Enforcement Administration, the CIA, the FBI, the Coast Guard and the Marines. Well, you get the idea. And they list them all there, if you need to know. James R. Clapper is the Director of National Intelligence. So, this is supposed to be to help them coordinate. The next intelligence agency we have is the Central Intelligence Agency, which has a fabulous website. They're just very cool. Who knew the CIA would have a sense of humor? The CIA puts out, and has put out for a long time, the World Fact Book. And it's really nice because it gives you nice profiles of the countries in the world. So, for instance, I chose Syria, and here I get a map showing me where it is in relation to other countries. A little map that shows me Syria and the major cities, their flag, and then all of these things. I don't know if you can really read them. All these things you can expand. So, for instance, here's the introduction to Syria. So, really nice compact reference tool on countries. The World Fact also includes a list of world leaders, and this is leaders and cabinet ministers around the world. Very quick way to look these things up. So, this is something that you really might want to have bookmarked because you can do a lot of, you know, quick reference this way. And they have a thing where they will compare. They will rank, essentially, countries of the world on particular points. They have a list you pick out, and you could pick out infant mortality rate. You could pick out average income. I picked obesity just because I thought it was a little different. And the U.S. ranks only six in the world. America's Samoa is number one for obesity in the world. But I thought this country comparisons was kind of interesting. And again, kind of a neat source without sort of fact, especially if kids are doing reports or something. You know, it's really a good reference source. They also have NAPS at the CIA, and they have a great kids page. You know, you see the little spy there, and they tell about the CIA, and they have games. And not all of them are kids games. I mean, they're games for cracking the code and aerial analysis challenge. But it just looked like these were fabulous. I just thought, wow, this is really fun. This is a place, again, where you could look, mark this, and have this available for the kids in the library if they want to play games. These are some nice games, interesting games to play. Okay, now we're going to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is charged with trying to keep the products making sure that products are safe and that people know about unsafe products. One of the things they do is send you to www.recalls.gov. Now this is something the government seems to be doing more and more of, which is calling something the subject, you know, recalls.gov. And this is actually a website that the agency's listed there, the USDA, the FDA, the Coast Guard, several others, collaborate on. And so you can get to all the recalls of products through this website. These are listed in the USA.gov, and I kind of recommend them. They're really pretty good. Now we get to some of the regulatory commissions. A lot of these independent agencies are regulatory. The first one here, the Federal Trade Commission, is about business practices. So again, it's watching out for consumers, but while the Consumer Product Safety Commission was about products, this is about business practices. So for instance, they have a whole bunch of stuff on Identity Fact, how to avoid it, what to do if it happens. And many of these agencies, too, this is typical, but they will have, in addition to their regulatory role, which is their major role, really, but they will have consumer information. They do want to directly reach voters. So the next one is the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. They have a facility locator. You can find out where nuclear facilities are. The Environmental Protection Agency, and they have a whole bunch of stuff on all different kinds of bad things that can happen to the environment, including red bugs. And this is about pesticides. So again, the Environmental Protection Agency has a regulatory role, but they also provide consumer information about the environment. So they talk about water quality, air quality, mold, all kinds of things. Then we get to the people employment opportunities commission. I think you know what they do. They really work with workers who have been discriminated against. They try to make sure that people are not discriminated against. And they're talking here about the EOC and religious and national origin discrimination, and how you can avoid that. So it's the EOC. Also, I am not giving you the handout page that I had for the others, partly because you can get these on USA.gov, and partly because almost all of them are www.eoc.gov. The Environmental Protection Agency is www.epa.gov. So they're kind of the follow-up pattern. Have you put the ninja delicious yet? I have not. After the show, someone did actually ask how to hand us. Because the first part one of this, we did do a work. Even part two I did. But they'll all be into our delicious accounts. When the recording goes up, they'll be able to get to all of them if you want to do that as well. And I do actually have a handout. It probably doesn't have everything on it. Well, I honestly was working on this thing pretty much up to the deadline. But I have a handout if you want to email me. I can send it to you. I'll be happy to. Okay, the next thing is the Federal Communications Commission, which the Federal Communications Commission regulates the airways. And it used to be radio and TV. Well, now it's broadband and internet. And the FCC is finding themselves with whole new technologies to talk about. And they too provide some consumer information. Here's the thing about 3G and 4G wireless. So it's basic information. But really, this has got a bad explanation of some of the things that you may be hearing about. Or you just need a basic information to tell people. Mostly, again, the Federal Communications Commission is a regulatory agency. But it does have consumer information. We have the Federal Election Commission. They're mostly to enforce campaign finance laws. But they do have lists of who the contributors are to campaigns. The Electoral College is not part of the Federal Election Commission. You know, it's regulatory. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Now, it used to be, commodities were pretty much traded as a way for producers, farmers, to kind of lock in prices early so they know. So they're losing a lot of uncertainty. But now, we have people trading in futures as, well, they're high-risk investments is what they are. And they're meant to help smooth out risk. And, you know, you can do all kinds of things. But the Commodity Futures Trading Commission does regulate that. Then we have Securities and Exchange Commission, the larger regulatory agency business. This commission regulates all of the publicly traded companies in America. And even, I think, had some regulations for foreign countries that trade U.S. exchanges. Securities and Exchange Commission has a big website for investors talking about investing, how to invest, what to look for when you're investing. They also have this huge reference resource, which is EDGAR. EDGAR stands for Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System. And I got somebody staying up late trying to think that. But EDGAR is where the public companies put their filings. All public companies have to report on their finances. They have to put out a report once a year that they call the 10K. And that is not the same thing as their annual report. Annual reports, they have a lot of verbiage in them and we'll talk a lot about the company. The 10K really just wants the financial report. And then the 10Qs, which are the quarterly reports. They also have the proxy statements. If you own stocks and you own 10 shares of something, you will get a proxy statement. And what they're saying is, when we get to the annual meeting, will you let us vote? Because of course, when you own stock, you own a piece of the company and you get to vote on things at the annual meetings. And they want to be able to do both the people that board of directors wants to vote your stock for you. And unless you're really a big stockholder, chances are you will let them vote. But the one thing the proxy statement has in it is it has compensation for the top of things. So that's why we have the proxy statement. There are other filings as well. The company buys back its own stock. It issues a new stock. Any kind of financial dealings, they really have to tell about. They have to make public. The idea is that everybody should have information on the company so that there is a flat planning field. Edgar is a big, big, very big. It's a database and you can get searchable. They have a tutorial. They will explain it, but it's a little tricky. If you're not used to it. I searched here for Apple and what I got was a little rundown on Apple and then a list of all their different filings that I could click through and actually see the filings and see what they reported about their finances. So Edgar is a fabulous resource but they don't massage the data. So it takes kind of an educated eye. Nevertheless, the data is there and it's good data. So another financial kind of agency and another big one is the Federal Reserve System. Now the Federal Reserve is really the bank of the United States and they control the money supply. You put less money in circulation and interest rates go up. More money in circulation, interest rates go down. But this is Ben Bernanke. We've heard a lot about the Fed in the news in the last several years, but this is the Federal Reserve System. They put out a lot of publications. Some consumer information, some very technical financial information. One of the things they do, for instance, I picked out one kind of just to show you, this is Selecting Interest Rates Daily. It's the daily update. And then you can see down here at the bottom that this list contains and there were a whole bunch of different kinds of interest rates. So this is what the Fed is talking about, is interest, money supply. They're talking about economics in a pretty neat little way. Again, fabulous information and really a lot of it. Another federal, another federal financial thing, the Federal Policy Insurance Corporation, they essentially will ensure your bank account for up to $250,000. So if you have $250,000, open another account somewhere. The FDIC really is charged with keeping confidence in our banks. We remember during the Depression there were a lot of funds on banks and things, it wasn't pretty. So the FDIC is meant to keep confidence. They also, they examine and supervise banks. This website is about how you examine banks and what banks are supposed to do and they manage receiverships. If a bank isn't doing so well, the FDIC will step in and say, no, we have to emerge with someone else or we have to do something here. They try not to let banks really fail and let people lose money. But you will see this over and over on the bank, you count the FDIC, Federal Policy Insurance Corporation, they insure the money, so it's safe in your bank. The farm credit administration meant to help farmers by providing sources of credit for them. I don't say much more about it than that, but this is another one of the Federal agencies that is not so much regulatory as meant to help people. Then we have the Small Business Administration. Now the Small Business Administration is not regulatory. It in fact has four real goals, helping people get financing for their business, entrepreneurial development. Because remember, we want to grow our economy in the way we do this, is by making business grow and starting new businesses, so the SBA is important in that. They also help people get government contracts to do business with their government and advocacy for small business. They have a lot of information about how to start a business, what to do when you have your business, and it really is a good site. It's a really good source of information for many of those people who come in your library and say, oh, I want to start a business about this. For instance, here's a thing they have on how to hire and retain employees. They also talk about how to write a business plan, how to get loans, how to get grants, all kinds of things. The Small Business Administration really does a lot of work with businesses. They do have offices around the country. They are a source of a lot of help to business people. Then we come to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA. I think you've all seen that NASA has huge educational programs. They really want to share what they're doing, and it's a great website to see beautiful pictures of outer space, outer planets, it really is a wonder, they have multimedia. It's a wonderful site for teachers or for kids. So I really recommend this. Again, it's not a regulatory agency, it's an agency. I think that's one of the things about these agencies as opposed to the cabinet departments is that these agencies tend to have, much more nearly defined focus. So you see the things we've gone through, the SEC just regulates public corporations. The FTC, business practices, they tend to have a focus that isn't as broad as some of the cabinet departments, which are doing a lot of different things. Okay, then we'll move down to science, as you can see, and the next science thing is the National Science Foundation. Now, we had the National Domain, the humanities, we had the National Domain, this is the National Science Foundation, again, making grants to support science. It started back in Truman's administration. You know, it's done a lot of work to underwrite scientific discoveries. They say, you know, they've helped win a lot of your little prizes. And you know, there's a lot of good stuff. The National Transportation Safety Board, they are charged with investigating all civil aviation accidents. So every time there's a plane crash, the NTSB has to go out. They also investigate accidents, significant accidents, I know quite what significant is, but they said significant, accidents and other modes of transportation. But the NTSB is largely concerned with investigating plane crashes. So they do. Then more transportation, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, or AKA Amtrak. You can actually buy your Amtrak ticket here, on this website, or find out about the trains, find out about the rest of that kind of stuff. You know, Amtrak, I don't think, although I know some great rail-run enthusiasts, and we have the Pacific here in Omaha. I think a lot of people have been to. Amtrak does run a lot of passenger trains across the country, when I think these coasts is where they're heading. Nevertheless, Amtrak can get lots of places using trains if you want to. Oh, one of our colleagues, Bill Ainsley, just took a vacation and took a train all around. He took it to California. Because he enjoys trains. And that's all Amtrak. So, you know, there you go. Then we have the Peace Corps, which is, of course, a very different, not regulatory at all, a place that was meant to help people. It was officially established in 1961. They've had over 200,000 volunteers to date. They serve 139 countries. Current number of volunteers is about 8,000. 62% female, 38% male. So guys, come on, step up. 93% of the people are single who volunteer. The average age is 28. 7% of the volunteers are over 50. The current number of countries served is 76. About 43% of them work in education, and there's lists of what else they're doing. 43% of them are in Africa, 21% in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, 15% in Asia, 10%. So the Peace Corps is all over the world. They will give you information about their programs. They will also tell you how to sign up. They have a video that you can watch to see if this is really for you or not. They want to be sure that people who sign up know what they're getting into and understand the program. Their budget is about $375 million. So that is the Peace Corps. And then another way to serve is the Selective Service System. Now, yes, young men between the ages of 18 and 25 in the United States must register. They have a whole chart about who has to register and pretty much everybody. Even really little immigrants have to register. I'm not quite sure how they would put that out, but they tell you you have to register. It doesn't necessarily mean that anybody would be drafted. People haven't been drafted in some time, but you have to register. So it's just one thing to keep in mind. But it's only men, which is discriminatory, I think. Yes. And then Social Security Administration. Now, I didn't go into this very much because I think that people do know the Social Security, what they do. They provide funds for people who are retired, people with orphans, Medicare. But we, as we've seen, Medicare is mostly in the Department of Health and the Department of Health. Disability. So they have a lot of, to the big side, they have a lot of consumer information because this again is one of the agencies that is meant to aid people. But, you know, you can go there and pretty much find the forms and the engineering. And we could probably do a whole lot on Social Security and I thought about it. We'll just keep it short. And U.S. Postal Service. Postal Service has tried really to provide a lot of customer service. It's a quick, they have a quick zip code lookup. So this again is one of those things to keep a bookmark on your computer because you can quickly find, you put it in an address and it tells you what the zip code is, which is very nice. They also have a postage price calculator so you know if you want to send a package. And then they do have some ordering stamps online and things like that. And they have a store where you can buy stamps and you know collectors buy stamps and things. So that was the Postal Service. No, actually we moved through this very fast today. If there are any questions, I'd like to be happy to take them. But this is the Postal Service with the last. I think your contact info is the one. Oh, and I can get my contact info. If you want the list of people or else, I do have one and I can say it's a document, it's a word document that I can send to you if you like. As we've been going through the session, well I started about half way through. I've been adding them to the commission's delicious accounts. So I don't know if I can do all the other ones too from the first half. So when the recording is available, you'll be able to click on the link and get a list of all the ones in this session So, does anybody have any questions? As I said, there aren't many more of these. If we go back to the list at USA.gov, you'll see that there were a lot I didn't get to. But, you know, the advisory council on historic preservation, I'm sure they do a lot of interesting and worthwhile work. But I tried to choose the ones that I thought people had heard about, people would need to know about, or would provide information useful to the record summary. Right, a lot of these I can see, there's things that in the library situation, someone would come to your desk and want something about these. Business information, especially some universities do subscribe to databases. Oh yes, they do. But there is a lot of, this is good to know, there's free information out there too that you don't need to pay for. It's not one of those universities that can pay for special database because you get that kind of question so infrequently. It's good to know that there is a place where you can still go to get good, accurate, the actual from the Horses' Mountains people. From the companies. Yes, I'll think about the exterior. Edgar, if you're curious, think about small business administration. There's a lot of information there. Look over this list and look over USA.gov because really whenever you have a question that asks for information that you think, and the government has information about pretty much everything, that's one of the things that I have been really impressed by doing this because I had to do some, okay, I had to do a lot of research. I didn't know all of this. It's how much they do. And they're great things they do. I mean, these are things that are really helping people, really giving people straight information, really trying to make life better for people, I think. And so I've been really impressed by the things that they do. And look, for instance, almost all of these websites somewhere have a new button where you can make it Spanish. I think that's very nice that they provide information in a way that some people who are new to our country or new citizens are more comfortable and they still can get the information because that's what's important is that people get the information and understand. So remember to get services where you can meet some of the top services. And I think these were fun. My cheapest gas prices, for instance. Look, in Nebraska. And Lincoln gas prices today. Really. I mean, their name and name's here. Yeah. You know, the cook shop at $47.50 was the cheapest gas in Lincoln today. Oh, we don't have a new tab. Oh, that's it. We have a new tab. You know, we had gas prices for cities in Nebraska. I mean, I thought that was kind of cool. Shop government auctions. And, you know, again, all the services that they will link to, and they occasionally do, link to things that are not even government. The electoral college calculators. Just the game you can play. You can figure out how you think all the electors and then show to you how many electoral votes every state has. And you can figure out who to think, who will win. So that was kind of funny. So if you have any questions, feel free to type them into the questions section of the GoToWebinar interface. Or if you have a microphone, let us know. I can unmute you, and you can use your microphone. Either way. During the session, there will be any questions. So let's make sure you're covering things appropriately. Or we still can find them. But I really enjoy doing this. I do a lot of fun looking at the stuff. There's a lot of amazing things on these websites. And I know that these people don't have time to spend as much time exploring as you'd like to be. But I do recommend that if you have a little time or you give yourself 20 minutes every week for something to explore. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I think you'll find a lot of information that you will be able to use. And you can go to History, Arts, and Culture and then give us the different things. So it's not just dry government statistics and information. No, it's not. And here, you know, how to find libraries, where the federal libraries are, grants for libraries. Yeah. So I do recommend USA.gov as a first line to go to search. We do have a couple of comments. Well, Lisa just says, excellent. Thank you very much. And another member, Melissa, who apparently has been, I know she's been live on all three of them, I don't remember, but she says, thanks so much. These three sessions have been fabulous. My mind is racing with ways to make this info available to our patrons, homeschooling parents, students, et cetera. So yeah, definitely. Well, thank you. I'm glad it's useful to people. You know, that was the idea. Where to put them on your website, where to create handouts, or guides or something to get people to certain things that they're always asking about. There you have it. Well, you know, if you want to put a link in today, we'll link the link on your website. You know, try printing out like a little poster on how to become president of the United States. Because they have a little information about, you know, where you got it. Yeah, these things can really be marketing for your library as well. Okay. Well, it doesn't look like any major questions are coming in right now. That's fine. So thank you very much, everyone, for attending. And thank you very much, Laura, for opening together these three sessions. I was just going to bring up. There was a lot. There's so much out there government-related together. So there's a lot of information. So it's great to have all these. So thank you very much for putting these three things together. So I guess you came to me and said, I want to do this series of webinars about government online. And I was like, hey, great. Go do it. I will put it on the show. So that is our third of this series. And as I said, they were recorded. So this is the AngelBusLive website. And also you've got Nebraska.gov. But as you saw, if you just Google and come to slide, we're the first result. Nobody else tells themselves this. So you do have a Facebook page. So if you do use Facebook, we suggest definitely liking us on Facebook. And you will all post on them. You'll be able to do that. There we go. So anytime we have an episode, we put it on here, announcing it, letting you know when the recordings are available. I posted earlier a break before this session to join us right now. We do a lot of the registered for sessions where you can come on the fly. I know some of you did. We do post when it's available. So definitely like us on our Facebook page. You can get update information there. I said all of our sessions are recorded on our AngelBusLive page right beneath the list of upcoming sessions we have a link to our archive. And this is what you find. As I said, all of our archives are going back to January 2009. But the two previous government online sessions are here as well. The previous one we did in September was the board in September. The White House Legislative Additional Branch. And then the first one back in August on the Executive Branch. So both those recordings are here with the PowerPoint presentation she used is available through our slideshare account and links to all of the URLs in each session in our delicious account. And this session will be posted up there in the same way. I've got the slides, links will be up there so you'll be able to have access to all three of those when this one is ready. So that is your government online. Next week, I hope you'll join us for our regular monthly tech talk with Michael Sowers. Michael Sowers is the Technology Innovation Librarian here at the Nebraska Library Commission. And he is currently out in Monterey, California at the Internet Librarian Conference. Internet Librarian 2012. And we'll be coming back tomorrow. But next week he's going to do reflection of the Internet Librarian. He's gathering people who will come on the show with us from all over the country who attended to talk about their services at the conference. So I hope that we've done previously live shows from Internet Librarian and from computers and libraries when it's in Washington, DC in the spring. This year we didn't do that. We've had some equipment issues on our own so we decided to skip that live show this year. But he's going to have them next week do a looking back on what has happened at the conference this week. So I hope you'll join him next week and when he tells about all the fun he had and all the learning he did. Oh, new things. You know, I'm going to talk with you soon. Yes. So join us next week for that and it doesn't look like any questions have come in. So thank you to you. Very interesting. Great show. So thank you very much everyone for attending. And I hope you'll join us next week in our future shows. Thank you very much. And bye-bye.
