LexisNexis Congressional - Now Available!

Due to the generosity of the University of Wyoming libraries, all Wyoming citizens now have access to the LexisNexis Congressional Research Digital Collection and U.S. Serial Set Digital Collection (1789 - 1969).

These databases allow you to explore Congress in action with the most comprehensive online resource available for congressional publications and legislative research. You can perform in-depth research in public policy, historical, and legal areas of interest. The subscription includes abstracts and indexing for congressional publications, legislative histories, member biographies, committee assignments, voting records, and financial data; and the full text of key regulatory and statutory resources.

If you have a WYLD library card (from your local county or community college library), you can log in remotely with this URL: http://proxy.lib.wy.us/login?url=http://web.lexisnexis.com/congcomp. If you do not yet have a WYLD card, you can access this rich online resource at your local library.

FYI--the law library is planning on joining the WYLD circulation system. You will then be able to use your law library account to access all WYLD online resources. We are in the process currently of linking all items that are not in storage in preparation for circulation.

If you have any questions about WYLD databases, please feel free to contact us!
