New: Political Contact Suite Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore and Washington DC At the American Library Association midwinter meeting in Denver last month (Jan.), CQ Press unveiled a new online resource, promising to be an essential collection for academic, public, corporate and government libraries. CQ Press Political Contact Suite is an integrated online resource comprised of eight authoritative directories containing nearly 170,000 contacts, profiles, and biographies for the members and staff of Congress, the federal government, and the judiciary, as well as non-governmental organizations. Its directory is also available on the CQ Press Electronic Library platform, providing users the ability to cross-search all CQ Press e-content*including CQ Almanac, CQ Weekly, and CQ Researcher. The CQ Press Political Contact Suite provides data from CQ Press*s renowned Congressional Staff Directory, Federal Staff Directory, Judicial Staff Directory, Homeland Security Staff Directory, Media Contact Directory, Washington Information Directory, World Power Base, and the Almanac of Federal PACs. With daily updates and a user-friendly interface, the Political Contact Suite will offer researchers easier access to the vital information they need. New list-building and downloading capabilities allow users to arrange contact information into manageable spreadsheets with a few mouse clicks. The exclusive, in-depth biographies and profiles in the CQ Press Political Contact Suite are not offered anywhere else. With convenient, enhanced search functionalities, this dynamic database provides reliable answers to a variety of questions, such as: * Who are President Obama*s appointees and staffers?* Where did they previously work?* Which members of Congress serve on which committees?* Who makes significant campaign contributions?* Who has been appointed to judicial seats?* And, perhaps the most important question of all: How do I reach them? Like all CQ Press online reference resources, the CQ Press Political Contact Suite meets key compliancy standards. Libraries can use IP authentication, referral-URL, and bar-code authentication for multi-user access, as well as COUNTER compliant usage statistics and customized branding, providing users with access to an unmatched source of information. Business and law schools will find it to be a comprehensive resource for networking in Washington D.C. and career services will rely on it to identify internships in the capital, while alumni offices can build contact lists for former students now working in the federal government and on Capitol Hill.

CQ Press was formed in 1965 as a print-focused publishing division within Congressional Quarterly, Inc. Since then, CQ Press has robustly grown its suite of online products to become an established digital publisher serving B2B and academic clients in its own right. CQ Press clients include members of Congress; leaders in the executive branch; law firms, corporations, media outlets, and government affairs shops; nonprofit organizations and top academic institutions. In 2008, CQ Press was purchased by SAGE, a leading international publisher of academic journals and books, with offices in Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore, and Washington, D.C. SAGE has a strong working relationship with 245 societies and associations and has been an independent publisher for more than four decades. CQ Press's partnership with Congressional Quarterly continues to thrive as a licensor and as distributor of CQ Almanac Archive, CQ Weekly Web, and Politics in America.
