SU, Law Libraries add new content to LexisNexis Congressional
Syracuse University Library and the Barclay Law Library are pleased to announce new additions to the LexisNexis Congressional database. This joint purchase provides additional full-text congressional material to researchers at Syracuse University.
The new modules include searchable collections of Congressional Hearings (1824- ), Congressional Committee Prints (1830- ), and Congressional Research Service (CRS) Reports (1916- ) in pdf format. A database of high resolution color images of the U.S. Serial Set Maps (1789-1969) collection is also part of the new purchase. These new modules add to the basic content of LexisNexis Congressional, e.g., abstracts and indexing for congressional publications, full-text of selected recent publications, and the U.S. Serial Set digital collection module purchased previously.
A comprehensive online resource, LexisNexis Congressional uses a single search interface for its collections of congressional publications and legislative information. It is ideal for student and faculty research in the areas of public policy, U.S. history, and law.
Syracuse University Library users may connect to these new LexisNexis Congressional digital collections by going to the library’s databases/Find Articles page: http://library.syr.edu/research/database/ and selecting Congressional or LexisNexis Congressional.
College of Law users may access LexisNexis Congressional through the Barclay Law Library's Federal Resources web page: http://www.law.syr.edu/lawlibrary/electronic/federal.aspx
