news from proquest congressional

A new Congress has begun. Here at ProQuest Congressional (i'll have to get used to calling it this!!), we are in the process of adding 112^th Congress dropdowns to our product and reconfiguring our databases to get ready for the new content. As you may recall from previous years, our rollover and testing process necessitates a brief hiatus in the searchability of some content from the previous Congress. The searches that are currently impacted are:

· Bill Tracking
· Bill Full Text
· Member Records: Bills Sponsored and Personal Profiles

Code of Federal Regulations searches will also be impacted by the end of the week.

While we test our databases, researchers doing searches for data in the above files will not be able to access data for the 111^th Congress. Other searches will not be impacted at all. We expect that the release for the 112^th Congress rollover will take place on the night of January 14^th. Once the release occurs, the search forms will display the 112^th Congress dropdown options and searches for both 111^1th Congress and 112^th Congress data will all run smoothly.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
