Comprehensive Bibliographies and Indexes
| As of 2008, approximately 85% of
all federal government publications are available free of charge on the
web. Most current series begin around 2001 but there are historical
studies of U.S. foreign policy published afterwards as well as some
digitization of older publications. Both FirstGov and Google's U.S. Government Search are excellent sources for identifying copies of full text documents. |

Laws
| Laws are passed by Congress and given individual Public Law Numbers. They are later broken apart and placed with existing law on a subject. These laws-in-force appear in the United States Code. Regulations are issued by the Executive Branch to carry out the intent of the Congressional Law. They first appear in the Federal Register and then are broken apart and placed with existing regulations by subject in the Code of Federal Regulations. |
