New GPO Access Databases!

The NCSU Libraries introduced GPO Access, which provides 
search and retrieval access to many important federal 
documents via the Internet, in September 1995.  As a GPO 
Access Public Gateway, the Libraries provides access to full-
text databases covering federal legislation, regulations, and 
laws.  The selection of databases continues to grow.  By 
connecting to the library's information system, you may now 
search:

_U.S. Government Manual_, 1995-1996

_Federal Register_, Volume 61 (1996)

_History of Bills and Legislation_, Volume 142 (1996)

_Congressional Record_, Volume 142 (1996)

_Congressional Record Index_, 1996

The following databases are scheduled to be added to the GPO 
Access Gateway soon:  Privacy Act Issuances, Campaign 
Reform Hearings, GILS:  Government Information Locator 
Service, and GAO Comptroller General Decisions.
