In January 1995, the Library of Congress launched the website Thomas
in order to make federal legislative information freely available to the public. Since that time Thomas has expanded to include access to
various types of resources, including:
- Bills, Resolutions
- Activity in Congress
- Congressional Record
- Schedules, Calendars
- Committee Information
- Presidential Nominations
- Treaties
- Government Resources
Descriptions of the resources, including coverage dates, are availabe on the
About Thomas page,
under the heading "What You Can Find on Thomas." The "Bills, Resolutions" feature, for example, searches the text of
legislation for the current Congress by word/phrase or bill number. This is a "quick and dirty" search for
those who do not want the advanced features found on the
Advanced Bill Text Search
page.
You can use the Government Resources page
to link to Congressional information from official and non-official sources divided by topic or Congressional body,
such as House of Representatives, Senate, or Historical Information from the Library of Congress.
If you would like further assistance locating legislative information, you
can review the Help page
on the Thomas website or contact the
Wirtz Labor Law Library.
