IPSWICH, Mass. — February 15, 2007 — In order to provide researchers with easy access to a comprehensive online collection of Congressional Research Service reports pertaining to all US legislative issues, EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO) is pleased to make available GalleryWatch CRS Reports via the EBSCOhost^® platform.

GalleryWatch CRS Reports contains the largest and most up-to-date collection of CRS (Congressional Research Service) reports available online. Originally written for members of Congress, these reports include nonpartisan, objective analysis and research on all legislative issues. The GalleryWatch CRS Reports database includes abstracts and PDF full text for more than 25,000 CRS reports and is updated daily, enabling researchers to keep track of issues as they are presented and discussed in the ever-changing environment of Capitol Hill. Content spans 1993-present and covers a host of subject areas including: economics, environment, foreign affairs, immigration, medicine, civil rights, national security, terrorism and more. Current and archived versions of each report are included, providing comprehensive coverage of edits and amendments. GalleryWatch CRS Reports is an invaluable resource for students, academics, federal affairs offices, grant writers, corporations and any institution that values timely, relevant research.

According to Arnie Thomas, Senior Vice President of GalleryWatch, “Responsible research of CRS Reports requires a comprehensive collection that is updated daily. Missing a current report in an ever changing Congress could jeopardize the research accuracy. However, with GalleryWatch, EBSCOhost researchers now have quick and efficient access to the most current and comprehensive collection of CRS reports since 1993.”
