Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Region's Press: Anatomy of Newspapers in the San Francisco Bay Area The Institute of Governmental Studies was established in 1921 as the Bureau of Public Administration, and given its present name in 1962. One of the oldest organized research units in the University of California, the Institute conducts extensive and varied research and service programs in public policy, politics, urban-metropolitan problems, and public administration. A prime resource in these endeavors is the Institute's public affairs library, comprising over a quarter of a million documents, pamphlets, and periodicals related to government and public affairs. The library serves faculty and staff members, students, public officials, and interested citizens. The Institute's professional staff is composed of faculty members who hold joint Institute and departmental appointments, research specialists, librarians, and graduate students from a variety of social science disciplines. In addition, the Institute is host to visiting scholars from other parts of the United States and many foreign nations. The Institute publishes books, monographs, periodicals, reprints, reports, and bibliographies for a nationwide readership. The publications are intended to stimulate research, thought, and action by scholars and public officials, with respect to significant governmental and social issues.
