GAO presented an investigative tool for identifying sources of information about people, property, business, and finance. The guide includes an index to locate sources of information about a topic that may be discussed in one or more places in the guide, and a chapter on how to use the Internet to gather information valuable to the investigative process. In many cases, information in the sources cited may be privileged or confidential and, therefore, unavailable. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-OSI-97-2/html/GAOREPORTS-OSI-97-2.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-OSI-97-2/pdf/GAOREPORTS-OSI-97-2.pdf GAO/OSI-97-2 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-OSI-97-2 Other Written Product GAO/OSI-97-2; Investigators' Guide to Sources of Information; Investigations by federal agencies Data bases Information centers Clearinghouses (information) Local governments State governments Federal agencies Title 5 Section 552a Title 5 Section 552a(i) 5 U.S.C. 552a 5 U.S.C. 552a(i) Title 12 Section 3401-3422 12 U.S.C. 3401-3422 Title 39 Section 3005 39 U.S.C. 3005
