In case you haven’t seen it, there’s a great article by Laura Gordon-Murnane, published yesterday at Information Today’s NewsBreak website, titled "Data.gov: Opening the Doors to Government Data".  With a new administration in Washington, new attitudes towards open, tranparent and accountable government is leading to more accessible information, something all information professionals should applaud.

Yesterday’s NewsBreak on Data.gov is just the tip of the iceberg. Laura will be giving a session at WebSearch University on this very topic and I’m sure will expand greatly on the availability of US government information and bring us up to speed on newer developments in this very important area.
