The Law Librarians' Society of Washington, D.C. (http://www.llsdc.org) is
pleased to announce a considerable expansion of a publication on its
Legislative Source Book entitled "Legislative Histories of Selected U.S.
Laws on the Internet" (http://www.llsdc.org/Leg-Hist). The expanded site
now encompasses almost all commercial as well non-commercial (free) Federal
legislative histories available on the Internet. These commercial histories
(Lexis, Westlaw, and HeinOnline) are listed alphabetically by the short
title of the public law and then in public law number order whether or not
that arrangement is on the vendor site. The layout is similar (but with
less detail) to the two listings of non-commercial legislative histories
presented just before the commercial listings. Each entry also has a direct
link to the history's URL site or to its general vendor site. In addition,
following the public law number list for commercial histories, are entries
and links to large or special collected histories (such as the new GAO
histories on Westlaw or collected tax related histories). Finally, at the
bottom of the site are many explanatory notes about legislative histories,
source sites, and citations to public law numbers as well as related
statute, U.S. Code and C.F.R. cites.
