UMN LibGuide on finding missing federal data

From Elizabeth (Liz) Weinfurter, MLIS

Nursing Liaison Librarian | Health Sciences Library| University of Minnesota

I'm sharing a fantastic new LibGuide our University of Minnesota GovPub Librarians put together a few days ago with a section on dealing with missing government data.

• The main guide is Finding Government Information during the 2025 Administration Transition.

• The data rescue subpage covers tools and strategies for a lot of the practical stuff our health sciences folks are running into.

Please use and share widely - we're in this together.
