GOVERNMENT AGENCIES & NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

Government Agencies:

If you are looking for a government agency, most information about such is published by the agency itself, so check with the Government Documents librarians or look through the Library of Congress links to Executive agency sites for U.S. federal agencies.  The following sources may also be of special help:

• United States Government Manual.  DESK JK421.A3 & DOC REF AE2.108/2:.  A handbook that describes the basic functions of each Federal governmental unit, along with officers, addresses, and other contact information.

• Federal Jobs Digest.  PER HD5724.F42.

• Encyclopedia of Governmental Advisory Organizations.  REF JK468.C7E52 1992/93.

• Florida Handbook.  DESK F306.F597.  In part, this handbook does for Florida state government what the United States Government Manual does for the federal government:  It describes each government agency and lists contact information.

• The Municipal Yearbook.  REF JS342.A2I52.  An annual publication covering major agencies (e.g., police depts.) of cities, including statistics and current heads of the departments.

• Mergent's Government & Municipal Manual (formerly, Moody's).  BUS HG4931 .M58.  Although published for the purpose of investments in bonds, this work can also provide insight into the workings of the city/state governments who issue those bonds.

Not-for-Profit Organizations:

Not-for-profit, research, and educational organizations can usually be found in one of the following directories:

• Encyclopedia of Associations.  RRF AS22.E5.

• Encyclopedia of Associations:  International Organizations.  RRF AS22.E52.

• Encyclopedia of Associations:  Regional, State, & Local Organizations:  Southeast.  RRF AS22.E53.

• Consultants & Consulting Organizations Directory.  REF HD69.C6C647.

• The Foundation Directory.  REF AS911.A2F65.

• Higher Education Directory.  DESK L901.E345.

• Official Museum Directory.  REF AM10.A2O4.

• Research Centers Directory.  REF AS25.D5.
