Orientation to Legal Research Webinar Series: U.S. Federal Statutes
Thursday, October 6, 11-Noon p.m. ET
Join legal reference specialists for an Orientation to Legal Research this month focusing on “U.S. Federal Statutes.” This webinar provides an overview of U.S. statutory and legislative research, including information about how to find and use the U.S. Code, the U.S. Statutes at Large, and U.S. federal bills and resolutions.
This virtual orientation will provide a general introduction to the world's largest map library, focusing on collections and resources accessible online from anywhere. Join us to explore a treasure trove of maps, atlases, and cartographic resources followed by a Q&A session with a map librarian.
Knowing Your Market: Business Research at the Library of Congress
Tuesday, October 11, 3-4 p.m. ET
Business Reference and Research Specialists will highlight free sources as well as those resources available at the Library of Congress, and share their research strategies and tips for finding current industry information. We’ll cover ways to compile information on both large, standard industries classified by the U.S. Census Bureau, and niche industries that are too small or unique to have their own reports.
This orientation is designed to give a basic overview of Congress.gov. While the focus of the session will be searching legislation and the Congressional member information attached to the legislation, the new features of Congress.gov will be highlighted.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to enter the Library's Thomas Jefferson Building and experience the exhibition, each visitor must apply for and receive one of a limited number of free timed entry passes. For information on reserving tickets, visit loc.gov/visit, where visitors can review “Know Before You Go” guidelines and reserve their free passes.
