Congress.gov Unveiled
The Library of Congress, in collaboration with the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives and the Government Printing Office, unveiled Congress.gov, a new public beta site for accessing free, fact-based legislative information. The new Web site features platform mobility, comprehensive information retrieval and user-friendly presentation. The Library of Congress is releasing Congress.gov as a beta site to enable a period of time for collecting user feedback and refining functionality while other content is incorporated. Other data, such as the Congressional Record, committee reports, nominations, treaties and communications, will be incorporated over time in a planned, prioritized order. The Library anticipates Congress.gov will operate as a beta site for approximately one year as this work is completed. During that time, both THOMAS and LIS will continue to operate as usual.
