Government Information - IM Reference


Would you like to IM a librarian about your research needs? Use our GovChat reference service to ask specialists in International, US, and State government information your research questions.

This service is provided by a group of government information specialists from several UC campus libraries (Berkeley, Davis, Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Barbara).
