WHITEPAPER
GOVERNMENT INFORMATION
IN THE ELECTRONIC ENVIRONMENT

AD HOC COMMITTEE ON THE INTERNET,
GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS ROUNDTABLE (GODORT),
AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

January 1996



If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization,
it expects what never was and never will be...
If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free,
it is the responsibility of every American to be informed.
                                                   --Thomas Jefferson
