Annotated Links

The web contains a vast reservoir of information about public administration and public organizations. A good place to start an exploration of the subject is with the associations that focus most on the field: the American Society for Public Administration, at www.aspanet.org; and the National Academy of Public Administration, at www.napawash.org.

Moreover, the federal government has an excellent search engine that provides easy access to the huge amount of data, reports, programs produced by the government: www.firstgov.gov. In addition, http://www.searchgov.org/ is another valuable source for information about the federal government's activities. Most state and local governments have their own websites as well. This link-http://www.statelocalgov.net/index.cfm-provides an easy index to the state and local government websites.
