What's in the news?

Often, it's a government publication that's in the headlines!

Such as the recently released Financial Crisis Inquiry Report. You couldn't come within 10 feet of any media for a few days last week without hearing about this massive report of the National Commission on the Causes of the Financial and Economic Crisis in the United States.

Since we are a federal Depository Library, we will get a paper copy of this report sometime in the next few weeks. But you can take a look at it online if you can't wait. Here is a link to what you'll notice is the official government version, made available by the Government Printing Office.

This isn't the only high-profile government report to make the news lately. You might remember at the end of last year there was quite a buzz about this report to the President—Deep Water: The Gulf Oil Disaster and the Future of Offshore Drilling.

You can also see the official version of this one right now, courtesy of GPO. We'll soon be getting a paper copy of this commission's recommendations (the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling, that is).

Keep informed! Follow up on what you hear on the news by checking with us at the Blume Library.
