The
Department of Commerce Law Library
Welcome
The
Commerce Department Law Library houses a collection of approximately 100,000
volumes. Much of the collection is composed of historic, legislative materials
including a nearly complete serial set of Congressional reports, hearings,
Congressional Record, and the Federal Register dating back to its first
publication as well as an extensive legislative history collection. The
Law Library collects current legal material to support the work of the
Office of the General Counsel in the areas of interest to the Commerce
Department, including international trade, environmental issues and intellectual
property. The Law Library provides reference and interlibrary loan service
for legal materials to all Commerce staff.
Online Resources at the Law Libraries
The Law Library also offers many online resources to Commerce staff
through its webpage. In addition to the online catalog, several online “fee for service” databases can be searched from the library’s
webpage. No password is required for access from within the headquarters
building.
The
Law Library is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Virtual Commerce Law Library is available to the public on the web.
