Editor's note: The Child Welfare Information Gateway -- a service of the Children's Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services -- has proven to be an excellent source of reports and other documents for our sister weblog, DocuTicker. Library Services Manager John Vogel routinely e-mails us to let us know what's new on the site. We asked him to tell us more about the Gateway, and he kindly put together this Resource of the Week for you.
