Hello - I just wanted to send an e-mail to invite you and your staffs to the Department of the Interior Library on Wednesday, August 1st at 2:00 pm for our next DOI Library Training Session, "Federal Legislative History Research Using Print Resources." In order to find the legislative intent of a bill or public law, researchers need to compile reports, testimony, debate, and other materials related to that piece of legislation to find keys as to what Congress hoped to accomplish by passing this bill. The final compilation of all these materials provides the researcher with a complete “legislative history” of the bill or law in question and hopefully will answer the question of what Congress intended with this legislation. Those interested in learning the process involved in compiling an official federal legislative history using older materials not yet found on the Internet will find this particular training program invaluable. Attendees will learn how to use print resources housed in the DOI Library to conduct legislative history research. Included will be a look at how to put together an “official” legislative history using Library sources such as the Congressional Information Service indexes, U.S. Congressional Serial Set, Congressional Record, and the U.S. Code Congressional and Administrative News. This program will be conducted by Reference Librarian Jennifer Klang. 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. 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. We hope to see you then!
