LexisNexis® Congressional assists researchers in finding information quickly and reliably through the use of the Index Term look-up tool, which can be accessed from the Basic and Advanced search forms. Subject terms may also be accessed for legislative history searches initiated from the Legislative Histories, Bills & Laws form.

The Index Term look-up tool offers:

• Controlled vocabulary subject terms

• Geographic subject terms

• Congressional committees (issuing source of publications)

• Congressional other (issuing source of publications other than committees)

Users with access to the U.S. Serial Set Digital Collection also have access to index term look-ups for non-congressional sources that issued publications, including Federal agencies and non-congressional other (non-congressional issuing sources other than Federal agencies).
