In this free one-hour webinar, Christopher Brown shows how to use Congress.gov to answer reference questions about congressional research.
Originally presented November 6, 2024
Congress.gov is a free database that allows users to track current actions in the House and Senate, as well as selected historical information going back decades. Join Christopher Brown for this webinar on using Congress.gov as a tool for finding out who your congressional representatives are, how to research what they have introduced, and how they have voted. In addition, he discusses basic legislative history research.
The goal is to take the fear out of congressional research when we are asked those questions. Christopher also shows how to sign up for email alerts so that you can track bills or any legislative activity of your representatives in Congress.
