Congress Goes Digital
By Michael Rogers -- Library Journal, 3/1/2007
LexisNexis® has developed the Congressional Hearing Digital Collection, which provides access “to both published and unpublished hearings from 1824 to present.” To meet the level of need for both hard-core and casual researchers, the collection is available in a trio of modules: Retrospective A (1824–1979), Retrospective B (1980–2003), and Prospective (2004 and beyond), totaling close to 125,000 titles. An additional 1500 titles will be added to the latter module for each year after 2004. LexisNexis® also has beefed up its Academic product with quicker searching as well as adding a clustering feature and language-neutral searching (users can search for foreign sources using English).
