abstract
Government documents and scholarly communication have much in common: notably, a shared emphasis on the open and persistent availability of high quality resources to a broader public than might concern other units in a research library and a sensitivity to actions and mandates undertaken at federal, state, and local levels of government. In this poster, we consider the entwined histories of scholarly communication and government documents, and argue for a closer engagement and awareness.
