  2. Life cycle decisions • Budgetary • Security (national or privacy) • Program/service • Political • Feasibility

  3. Use an “agency” search when… • You want a particular perspective • You want an acknowledged authority • There is a known (or suspected) information program you want to exploit

  4. Organizational perspectives • Brookings vs AEI • ULI vs Lincoln Institute of Land Policy • ONRC vs WWPA (Warner Creek) • USTR vs Labor vs EPA (NAFTA) • Corps of Eng vs FWS (Hyundai site) • Corps vs NMFS (Snake River Dams)

  5. Acknowledged authority Examples • Congress: legislative histories • Policy-setting authority: Wrangell Island • Authority to regulate: endangered species • Designated responsibility for programs: election data

  6. Known information program • Examples: • FBI: Uniform Crime Reports • EPA: Toxic Chemical Release Inventory • NCHS/CDC: Vital statistics data • ODOT: Oregon traffic accident data

  7. How to perform “agency” search • Identify appropriate agency • locate phone numbers, addresses, names • identify specific programs, follow up • read regulations • browse publications

  8. Identifying right agency • Directories (US Government Manual, Federal Staff Directory, Oregon Bluebook) • Search by program: CFDA • Regulations: who writes the relevant ones? • Statutes: who is charged with responsibility? • Subject search, then see who’s putting out publications •  Firstgov.gov, Oregon.gov • Advanced Google: limit by internet domain (.gov)
