Despite the fact that the print volumes are available in the Library stacks, the online subscription allows for easy searching of its contents and provides access to Departmental employees not located in the Washington area. Due to the massive size of the collection, the serial set is being released in phases. When the digitization project is complete, the U.S. Congressional Serial Set - Digital Edition will contain digitized copies of about 13,800 volumes and more than 12 million pages from 350,000 publications, including 52,000 maps, illustrations, and statistical tables.
The Congressional Serial Set - Digital Edition is just one of a number of online databases available to Departmental employees via the Library's homepage. Other databases of note include HeinOnline, a database featuring digital access to all volumes of the Federal Register, articles from hundreds of law reviews, and Supreme Court Opinions from 1790 to date; InfoTrac OneFile, offering users abstract and/or full-text access to 16 million articles from over 6000 journals dating back to 1980; and EBSCO Online, providing access to tables of contents, citations, and abstracts for several thousand scholarly, trade, and general interest journals. These online databases are currently available to most DOI employees throughout the country through the Library's web site.
