What is the Minnesota Coalition on Government Information?
The Minnesota Coalition is a network of individuals and organizations committed to open access to public information in print, electronic and digital forms. Its members include librarians, media representatives, lawyers, community activists, computer professionals, educators and others who care about openness in government, information access and the public's right to know. Interested in current information topics or trends? Check out the MN COGI blog.
Can you help me access information?
We have compiled resources and advice to help you gain access to the information that you are entitled to see. While our main concern has been access to government we have also included supporting for accessing other types of information. (Check out tools for accessing information in Minnesota or general Freedom of Information links.)
What is the Finnegan Award?
Each year, the Minnesota Coalition of Government Information (COGI) presents the John R. Finnegan Award to honor a Minnesotan or Minnesota institution whose work demonstrates leadership and commitment to the power of information to effect change. (Learn more about the Finnegan Award)
