Gale Launches MyGovernment

Gale Cengage recently launched MyGovernment, an online, subscription-based product that provides detailed information on United States political representatives at the federal, state, and local levels. It includes a basic guide to U.S. government, including how laws are made in Congress, information on U.S. citizenship, and more. Produced by KnowWho, Inc. and distributed by Gale, MyGovernment enables users to easily locate, research, and contact their elected officials and access background and biographical data, committee assignments, photos, and even campaign contribution sources. Much of the political information available online is scattered across multiple websites, and it’s often hard to determine whether the information is neutral or nonpartisan. With MyGovernment users can find access to all the information they need from a trusted source. A Spanish user interface will also be available. The easy-to-use format of MyGovernment makes it simple for citizens to become active participants in all levels of government.
