Congressional Record Coming to HeinOnline

Posted today on the govdoc listserv:

Thank you for bringing this Govdoc’s listserv query to our attention. I suppose that now is a prudent time to let the cat out of the bag and provide you with some good news. The William S. Hein & Co., Inc., through its HeinOnline interface, will be releasing a digitized version of the Congressional Record. The first release, due in June 2007, will include the following titles:

  • Congressional Record V. 1-10 (bound), and V. 142 to date (paper)
  • Annals of Congress
  • Register of Debates
  • Congressional Globe
  • Journals of the Continental Congress
  • American State Papers

It is our intention to continue forward with the bound volumes, and simultaneously continue backward with the paper edition, until the two meet and overlap. We expect this collection to be available in its infancy in June 2007, with the remainder of Congressional Record volumes available sometime in the year 2008.

The Congressional Record module will be billed a-la-carte as an additional library module that can be subscribed to through the HeinOnline interface.

In addition to the above, we have digitized and will make available, during the second half of 2007, the following titles in their entirety.

  • Administrative Decisions under Immigration and Nationality Laws
  • Atomic Energy Commission, Reports, Opinions and Decisions
  • Comptroller General of the United States. Decisions

New Jersey Practice v. 49 and 50

Did you notice 2 brand new New Jersey Practice volumes 49 and 50?

Titled New Jersey Business Law Deskbook 2007, $188, they are 2 softcover volumes that appear to be annuals. I do not recall a predecessor to this- they were a surprise to me.

The authors are Olson, Pappa and Goodman. The deskbook includes “guidance on virtually every aspect of business law.”

The New Jersey Practice is expanding with softcover volumes…..[lr]

New Jersey Administrative Code starts to grow

The New Jersey Administrative Code is expanding. With the addition of another volume for Title 5 Community Affairs, more shelf space is needed.

While we are at it, we need to plan for Title 7,8,10,11 and 13 expansions as well. That’s 5 more binders at least, according to the April 16th notice.

Two new window cards for Title 5 came with the April 2nd Supplement. They are missing in a lot of places because they came prior to the binder.

Hey, Lexis! We pay for the NJAC by annual subscription. How is it you are charging us $20 for a new binder? Isn’t that part of our subscription? In anticipation of additional binders this year, I protest! [lr]
