The 2007 newsletters (faculty and student editions) were added to the 'newsletters' folder. Copies of these newsletters are also posted on the Law School 'L:' network drive and in the Pipeline Law School & Law Library group portal (Group Tools -> Files -> Library newsletters)

Below is the extract from http://www.usa.gov/About/FirstGov_Faq.shtml

Why did you change your name from FirstGov.gov to USA.gov?

We did it because you asked us to. On December 5, 2006, FirstGov.gov announced that it changed its name to USA.gov. Feedback from the public told us that we need a name that is easier to understand and remember. We pay attention to our visitors and here's what we know:
-Last year more than 600,000 people typed in "usa.gov" into their browser when searching for government information.
-In a 2006 telephone survey, 79% of respondents preferred the name USA.gov.
-USA.gov is intuitive-it describes what our site is-the U.S.
Government online.
-We regularly get e-mail from the public telling us that they don't like the name and that we should change it and our colleagues send the same message.
