Webinar: GovInfo Phobia: How to Get over that “Deer in the Headlights” Feeling

Originally presented October 14, 2020

You’ve just been asked a question about a bill in Congress, or perhaps about the history of a law, or maybe even a census question. You know that the answer is online, but just how exactly can you answer it? You know you can type words into Google, but you want to provide an authoritative answer, the best answer.

This webinar gives guidance on where to go on the web and how to think about difficult questions. It focuses on the workings of Congress, basic legal questions, statistical and census questions, and even patents to make you more confident the next time you are asked about government information.
