LexisNexis^® U.S. Serial Set Digital Collection

Features

Through the LexisNexis U.S. Serial Set Digital Collection, researchers are able to execute full-text searches across the entire collection of the U.S. Serial Set (through 1969) to discover previously inaccessible documents. Searches will run against OCR-generated ASCII text; each result will consist of metadata describing the retrieved document and a PDF image.

In addition to performing full-text searches, researchers have a more productive search of congressional documents, reports, and publications by:

• Full text search with relevancy ranking

• Fielded search by:
• Bibliographic numbers (Serial Set volume, SuDoc, or CIS accession number)
• Author
• Committee
• Non-Congressional source
• Publication numbers
• Legislative numbers (bills, public laws, and Statutes at Large citations)
• Subject terms (controlled vocabulary)
• Title (Publication and map title)
• Witness name (where available)
• Witness affiliation (where available)
• Table title
• Illustration caption
• Names on map
• Map area/subject terms
• Map relief method
• Search limiters:
  • By date or Congress
  • Containing illustrations or tables
  • By document type
  • Annual Reports
  • Court of Claims Reports

508 Compliance

While Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act deals with federal government procurement standards, in the spirit of accessibility LexisNexis has met Section 508's standards and has looked at both the search interface and digital documents that were created for the Serial Set to make them as friendly as possible to the visually challenged.
