Country of Origin Information Service

"Country of Origin Information Service (COI Service) exists to provide accurate, objective, sourced and up-to-date information on asylum seekers' countries of origin, for use by IND officials involved in the asylum determination process."

Useful Bookmarks for accessing government information

**The GPO’s Internet Publications page lets you search only for “records for and links to Federal Government publications that are available online. Records date from July 1976 to the present.”
**The U.S. Department of State FOIA Electronic Reading Room is a particularly well-stocked fishing hole. Among other things, you’ll find directories and databases galore — including phone, fax, country offices, key officers, forms (e.g., passport, visa, etc.), regulations, international local holidays, declassified documents, and much more.
**DefenseLink is the official gateway to U.S. military information, but it’s not the easiest site to use (although the search engine isn’t bad). I much prefer Navigating the Military Internet, an incredibly comprehensive and nicely organized site maintained by the Dudley Knox Library at the Naval Postgraduate School. (Another excellent choice: the Air War College Military Index to the Internet.)
**Most of the photographs and images found on federal government websites are in the public domain and you can download and use them for free. If you drill down into the Reference Center at FirstGov, you’ll find a large, alphabetized list of links to image collections on government agency websites. The fishing is good here. (A possible alternative — the Creative Commons image search engine.(via ResourceShelf)
