Information Dissemination

Case Studies on Electronic Dissemination at Four Agencies Gao ID: IMTEC-92-6FS July 22, 1992

This fact sheet examines electronic information dissemination at four government agencies: the Department of Agriculture, the National Technical Information Service, the Census Bureau, and the National Library of Medicine. For each agency, GAO describes users and uses of the data, agency planning activities, data integrity practices and controls, costs for information dissemination, and prices paid by information users. GAO has not, however, evaluated how effective or efficient agency dissemination practices are or whether agency activities were done in accordance with laws and regulations.

GAO described the users and uses of data, agency planning activities, data integrity practices and controls, agency costs for information dissemination, and practices paid by information users.
