Government information documents and guides have not been accessible through the UT Libraries website since research guides migrated over to the LibGuide system. This capstone project focused on fixing that discrepancy by creating new LibGuides for several topics under the government information umbrella. Topics such as historical census data and the electoral college, along with others, now have LibGuides that are accessible to library users, especially students, as a place to start their own research. Because LibGuides are utilized mainly by students, I have been focusing on the areas of government documents and information that are of interest and will be utilized by students. To do this, I have been collaborating with my field supervisors to better understand the needs of students and other interested parties. Near the end of this semester, I will be presenting a training to library staff on the government documents I have been working with so that they will be better equipped to help students and other patrons on a day to day basis.
