Steens Mountain, Oregon. Stueby's Outdoor Journal: http://stuebysoutdoorjournal.blogspot.com/[/caption] From the desk of Rand Simmons The conflict between the Bureau of Land Management and protesters and ranchers has received widespread attention from the media. The site of the protest is the Malheur Nation Wildlife Reserve located in rural Oregon near the small town of Burns. What do you know about this beautiful but remote area of Oregon? Want to know more? That's where a library comes in handy. The Washington State Library is a great place to begin. Because we are a Regional Library for the Federal Depository Library program we have a comprehensive collection of publications issued by government agencies and distributed by the Government Publishing Office. We also have the responsibility to collect and maintain publications of Washington state agencies. With the exception of older publications ours are listed in our catalog and many lead to digital copies online. Many maps and other federal publication are published electronically. The State Library catalog points to the online version as well as a print version if one exists.
