“…The range of subjects covered in government publications applies to every discipline and professional practice, yet the use of this material is found to be low. Postema and Weech (1991);Caswell (1997);and Hogenboom's (2002) studies of usage and citations support the anecdotal claims by librarians of researcher's comparatively low use. Partially this low use can be attributed to lack of instruction by non-documents specialists (Asher et al, 2002).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to foster discussion of the role of government information librarians in the design and implementation of information literacy instruction. Increased accessibility to government information through the internet is bringing all librarians into increased contact with government information, thereby becoming ad hoc documents librarians. Through collaboration with experts in government information, shared knowledge results in opportunities for richer and more comprehensive information literacy instruction. Design/methodology/approach -This review examines evidence of commonality and collaboration between librarians through content analysis of both general and specialized library publications. Findings -Collaboration is a common practice in library instruction to share workload and expertise, yet most literature on this practice focuses on librarian-faculty collaborative efforts. Limited evidence exists for collaboration between librarians and a severely limited body of literature exists when examining instructional design collaboration to include government information in information literacy instruction. Practical implications -Collaborative instruction proactively addresses resolving perceived barriers and expands instruction resource repertoires and shares workloads. Originality/value -Examination of the collaborative process between librarians is infrequent. This adds to the body of literature and increases awareness of additional resources in the provision of information literacy instruction.

“…Only 3 studies looked further into estimates of cause-specific mortality for measles, liver-related, and invasive candidiasis, respectively. Moreover, two of these studies used other NCHS data -the National Hospital Discharge Survey in "Epidemiology of invasive candidiasis: a persistent public health problem" (Pfaller & Diekema, 2007) and National Immunization Program in "Acute Measles Mortality in the United States, 1987-2002" (Hinman et al, 2004 to evaluate mortality estimates. The third study used medical records from the Rochester Epidemiology Project in "Underestimation of Liver-Related Mortality in the United States" (Asrani, Larson, Yawn, Therneau, & Kim, 2013).…”

“…Brill (1990) also conducted a citation analysis within international relations journals for 1964, 1974, and 1984, which indicated that 46% of all documents cited were from the US government. While detail is provided on the selection process for journals and disciplines in these citation studies (also see Hernon & Shepherd, 1983;Hogenboom, 2002), sufficient detail on how US government documents were identified in the citations is lacking.…”
