For more information about A New Era of Responsibility (the budget), see the Briefing Room section of whitehouse.gov. GPOAccess has an electronic version available. Soon, we'll have it in our catalog.

Yesterday, I spoke with a student about her difficulties with finding Obama's inaugural address on the White House website. Evidently, libraries aren't the only ones that use weird terms. Briefing Room didn't exactly translate to "click here to locate speeches, a blog, the latest news and more." All of this is to say, you will find a lot of timely and relevant information about the president, his speeches and events in the Briefing Room.
