The Online Catalog (World Wide Web-based catalog) now includes cataloging records for most US Government documents published subsequent to 1975. Two important indexes/abstracts can be found using the Library Home Page. One, Congressional Universe, is an index to committee-level congressional publications: hearings, reports, and prints. In addition, Congressional Universe provides the full-text of the Congressional Record and the Federal Register. The other noteworthy index, Statistical Universe, provides access to publications of the statistical agencies of the US Government, including the Census Bureau, the National Center for Education Statistics, and the National Center for Health Statistics. One further important index, which has recently migrated to the World Wide Web is the index to translated documents of the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS). The FBIS translates into English such media as newspapers, radio, and television for all regions of the world.
