Susan Golding, our government documents and maps librarian, provided a very important discussion of the electronic resources that make up the sources and services provided to the public and to academic libraries by the governments of the United States including Federal, State and Local governments. Her bright and positive personality and her sense of humor took what could be a dull topic and turned it into a most interesting, exciting and informative learning experience. Her ability to improvise and work around some government sites that were not working properly that day was just one of the ways in which her presentation excelled in quality and in its high level of informativeness.
