Government Info Finding Tools November 26, 2007

From Philip Williams (Cordova):

Gov Gab

http://blog.usa.gov/roller/govgab/

“Gov Gab is a new blog from USA.gov and the U.S. General Services Administration’s Office of Citizen Services. Written by six federal employees with different backgrounds and interests, Gov Gab will reflect the writers’ personal lives and experiences, as well as the expertise they’ve gained working on USA.gov, the Federal Citizen Information Center, and 1 (800) FED-INFO. Each weekday, you’ll find a fresh post with helpful facts and tips from the government. Readers can join the conversation by leaving comments or e-mailing the bloggers.”

Find a Federal Job

“You can now search for jobs directly from USA.gov. In the Search Federal Jobs box, enter keywords or a location and you’ll quickly find job announcements from the federal government.”

Find a Federal Recreation Area

www.usa.gov/Citizen/Topics/Travel/Recreation.shtml

“In USA.gov’s Recreation Area Search box, enter keywords—such as camping, hiking, and fishing—and the state, and you’ll find recreation opportunities on federal lands.”

Veteran Gravesite Locator

www.usa.gov/Citizen/Topics/History_Family.shtml

“Use the new Veteran Gravesite Locator box to search by name for burial locations of veterans and their family members. You’ll get results from military cemeteries and private cemeteries in cases where a grave is marked with a government grave marker.”
