Hi Everyone –
I just wanted to send an e-mail to invite you and your staffs to the
Department of the Interior Library on Wednesday, April 16th at 2:00 pm
for a free DOI Library Training Session, "Introduction to the
Congressional Hearings and Research Digital Collections," part of our
National Library Week celebration during the week of April 14th through
18th.
Learn how to access and use two new digitized collections offered by
LexisNexis: the Congressional Hearings Digital Collection, covering
congressional hearings dating back to 1824; and the Congressional
Research Digital Collection, offering digitized copies of Congressional
Research Service (and earlier Legislative Reference Service) reports
back to 1916, as well as congressional Committee Prints back to 1830.
Both of these collections are now fully searchable through one online
search screen. Attendees will learn search techniques that can be used
to locate digitized copies of these materials essential in conducting
thorough legislative history research. These new digitized collections
are available to Interior Department employees at their workstations via
the DOI Library website (http://library.doi.gov) and at the patron
workstations in the DOI Library. This program will be conducted by a
LexisNexis trainer.
All that are interested are invited. The DOI Library is located in the
Main Interior Building, located at 1849 C Street, NW, Room 1151 in
Washington. Space is limited so please contact the Library by phone at
(202) 208-5815 or by e-mail at [log in to unmask] to let us know you will
be coming. For more information about future DOI Library Training
Sessions, we encourage you to visit our Training Sessions website at

We hope to see you here on April 16th!
