We're working to make federal agencies smarter and more efficient by proposing the WISE Government Act of 2025. This legislation aims to enhance access to scientific literature across federal libraries, ensuring that government employees have the resources they need to make informed decisions. By promoting transparency and collaboration, we hope to break down barriers and cut costs in acquiring essential knowledge.

Finally, a bill that acknowledges knowledge shouldn't be locked behind paywalls!

Access to knowledge is a right, not a privilege. This bill is a step in the right direction!

Just another government overreach into library subscriptions. What's next, mandatory magazine racks?

Do we really need more taxpayer dollars funding subscriptions? Libraries are fine as is!
