ProQuest Congressional: Searching Government Documents Online
Discover how ProQuest Congressional can transform the way you find and use key congressional documents.
Join us for a training session designed to help you get more out of ProQuest Congressional and related tools. You’ll see how these resources make it faster and easier to uncover the information you need—whether you're tracking legislation, diving into historical hearings, or navigating the rule‑making process.
During the session, you’ll learn how to:
- Quickly find authoritative, searchable PDF versions of hearings, reports, the Congressional Record, and other essential documents
- Seamlessly move between Congressional, Legislative Insight, and Regulatory Insight
- Leverage the strengths of these interconnected databases to efficiently uncover key documents and gain a clearer understanding of the legislative and rule‑making processes
By the end, you’ll be equipped with research techniques that save time, improve accuracy, and deepen your understanding of federal legislative and regulatory activity.
