CRS Reports - Additional Information and Research Strategies
ProQuest® Congressional provides access to CRS reports through the Advanced Search Form (Congressional Publications) and the Search By Number Form (Congressional Publications).
Tip:
Researchers at institutions with purchase/subscription arrangements that do not provide access to the optional Congressional Research Digital Collection modules can access CRS reports by doing a keyword search under "CRS" or a subject search under "Congressional Research Service".The ProQuest Congressional basic subscription provides citations for CRS reports contained in hearings, committee prints, and other congressional publications from 1970 forward, and provides abstracts and indexing for CRS reports issued as official congressional publications. For maximum search results, a Basic or Advanced Search should be conducted searching all available publication types. Some CRS reports have been issued as House or Senate documents, reports, or committee prints, while others are available as attachments to various types of publications. In addition to providing access to versions of "official" CRS reports, ProQuest Congressional provides access to numerous memos and witness submitted statements authored by CRS staff. In all cases, the bibliographic information provided is sufficient to allow the user to locate microfiche or print versions elsewhere in the library.
ProQuest Congressional also makes annotated indexing and searchable PDFs available for a collection of CRS prints (1916-2003) through the optional Congressional Research Digital Collection retrospective module, and annotated indexing and searchable PDFs for CRS reports from 2004 forward through the optional Congressional Research Digital Collection prospective module.
