DiscoverGov, making researching US government publications easier
January 3, 2025 9:51 AM Subscribe
As of last month, the United States Government Printing Office has soft-launched a new search tool and seeks feedback: DiscoverGov, which "provides simple, one-stop searching across multiple U.S. Federal Government databases". This includes what's currently available in GovInfo plus the Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP). Sample search: "dragon". (Other resources include the United States Code, which one can browse and download.)
It would be a shame if this disappears due to the new administration, but I'm betting the comment page with the links might disappear without the actual links being disabled (some of which happened during the first Trump administration). So, plan accordingly.

This is completely fabulous and wonderful.
"san francisco architecture" turned up a bunch of results, including this great image (Sacramento St. (1280)?) apparently part of the Paul Rudolph Archive.
while "coffee cake" in ERIC turns up a bunch of delightful-sounding books, including
Learning to Mother over Coffee and Cake: Naming Our Informal Learning
The Classical Cake Problem
The Chemistry of a Cake: Or Eating Metric.
Learning Programming through Baking
Teaching Coffee Culture and the Coffee Museums in ESL and ESP Classes
Prediction during Language Processing Is a Piece of Cake--But Only for Skilled Producers
A Geometric Approach to Fair Division
(Also I love that the url is https://discover.gpo.gov/primo-explore/ . Primo!)
Thank you so much for posting this, brainwane. I am really glad to know about this, and I hope it remains available.
