     The Law Librarians' Society of Washington, D.C., Inc. (LLSDC)
     has recently published an 18 page booklet entitled "Legislative
     Research SIS Membership Directory and Source Book: 1997".
     Within it are listings of this special interest section's bylaws,
     membership directory, and an article I have updated entitled
     "Sources of On-Line Legislative and Regulatory Information".
     
     The article briefly describes most every major database provider of
     federal and state legislative and regulatory information (including
     Internet sources) and compares in a tabular format in over 50
     different topic categories what legislative and regulatory
     information they provide, the name of each database file, and how
     far back the information is kept. The database providers include
     CQ Washington Alert, Legi-Slate, Lexis-Nexis, Westlaw,
     CIS Congressional Compass, GPO Access, U.S. House of
     Representatives, the Library of Congress' Thomas and LOCIS
     databases, State Net, Legi-Tech, and Knight-Ridder Information
     (formerly Dialog).
     
     Members of the LLSDC's Legislative Research Special Interest Section
     should have already received their copy. Those who are not members of
     the SIS can purchase the publication from the LLSDC management office
     at 669 South Washington Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314-5092. The
     price is $7.50 and includes shipping and handling. Orders must be
     prepaid. Checks should be made out to LLSDC.
