Do you sometimes find yourself mystified by government abbreviations? Does a document littered with unfamiliar government acronyms make about as much sense as a bowl of alphabet soup?
Help is as close as the nearest internet browser. The University Library at IUPUI has a list of Abbreviations & Acronyms of the U.S. Government with the full names of the agency or program to which they refer. Most entries link to the official website. There is also a page for Military Acronyms and Glossaries.
For abbreviations in legal citations, check out the Cardiff Index to Legal Abbreviations.
