Booklist Online: More than 130,000 book reviews for librarians, book groups, and book lovers - from the trusted experts at the American Library Association

The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) has expanded its collection of e-books to more than 200 titles. GPO and Google formed a partnership in 2010 to convert Government publications into e-book format and make them available to the public through Google’s eBookstore. For example, a recent addition, the first volume of the Public Papers of the President, Barack Obama, provides insight to the daily activities of President Obama. Other recent titles include The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, which details the findings of President Obama’s Commission to investigate the causes of the financial and economic crisis; and Wings in Orbit, the legacy of the space shuttle program.
