New Online Resources

The Law Library has recently subscribed to several new online resources: LegiStorm Pro provides biographical and financial information about members and staff of the U.S. Congress, as well as full-text of reports from the Congressional Research Service and General Accounting Office. The Leadership Federal Government Premium site provides directory information and organization charts of the U.S. federal government's executive branch and independent agencies, as well as Presidential candidates' campaign organizations. (A caution on this one: our license allows only one user at a time; please click "Logout" when done using it, else you may delay the next user's access.) In Loislaw Connect we now have access to Loislaw's Full-Text Treatise Libraries and the New York Bar CLE Publications. In our HeinOnline subscription we have added the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals and the "History of Bankruptcy" collection.
