There are only a few days left to sign up for a workshop on using the resources on Congress.gov, hosted by the National Press Club's Journalism Institute and Professional Development Committee, on Feb. 16 at 9:30 a.m. in the Club's Bloomberg Room.

Tickets for NPC member are $5 each; for the general public $10. RSVP required; tickets can be purchased here.

Tammie Nelson, project manager of Congress.gov, plans to briefly discuss the history of Congress.gov and provide a demonstration of its capabilities. Bring your specific research questions and put her on the spot for an interactive question-and-answer session after the demonstration.

Congress.gov (www.congress.gov) is the official public website for legislative information and includes data for bills and resolutions, the Congressional Record, committee reports, nominations, treaties and executive communications. The site offers a full spectrum of search tools and other research resources.
