Government Documents News

The Library now has online access to the Monthly Catalog of U.S. Government Publications, 1895-1976.

For finding U.S. federal publications, the Monthly Catalog is an invaluable complement to the Orbis library catalog (in which the cataloging of Yale's U.S. federal depository print collection is nearly complete), the MORRIS Law Library catalog, and WorldCat, not least because the Monthly Catalog indexes publications that were not distributed through the depository program.

Digitized maps from the U.S. Congressional Serial Set are available in both LexisNexis Congressional and the U.S. Congressional Serial Set from Readex.

Yale Library provides online access to CQ's Politics in America 2010, which covers the 111th Congress.

Politics in America provides detailed information on the 535 members of Congress and their districts and states. The profiles provide CQ's analysis of personalities, political styles, legislative agendas, political ambitions, and reputations of members at home and on Capitol Hill. Also includes information on campaign finance, partisan caucuses, and standing committees.
