In August 2019, the Law Library added the following new resources to the collection to support the research and curricular needs of our faculty and students.

New Resources

This month several ProQuest databases received 2019 updates. These updates ensures that each database contains the most current information available. The following databases were updated:

-ProQuest Congressional Publications (updated Congressional Hearings & U.S. Serial

Set)

Find legislative histories, committee hearings, prints, and reports, bill texts and tracking, and information about members of the House and Senate. Both Insight products provide full legislative or regulatory histories which includes the full text of the public law or regulation, all versions of related bills, law-specific Congressional Record excerpts, committee hearings, reports, and prints. Also included are presidential signing statements, CRS reports, and miscellaneous congressional publications that provide background material to aid in the understanding of issues related to the making of the law and regulations.
