 Hi, this video will help you find information from the federal government using GovInfo. Let's say we are researching the Clean Air Act and we find this info on epa.gov. The links to find the actual text of the law aren't great, but they've given you the citation which you'll want to write down. We can use the GovInfo site to find the law using the Citation tab. We need to fill out the drop-down bars with the citation information. Our citation is from the USC collection, which stands for United States Code. So we need to select this from the bottom of the list. Next, under Year, we want to choose Most Recent for the current law. Under Title Number, select 42 because that is noted in our citation. The type is USC, also noted in the citation. For Section Number, enter 7401 in the box and then we'll want to click Search. Your search may require that you click a direct link if you're running a pop-up blocker. This will bring up the Clean Air Act in the US Code. There is a wealth of information available in the text of the code. For example, it lists the origin of the law under codification. Using this citation, we can find the historic origins of the Act. We can use Citation Search again, searching for the Statute Citation 69 Stat 322. In the first drop-down menu, select Statutes at Large. For Volume, our citation indicates that we need Volume 69. And then type in 322 in the number box. This pulls up the original Act. Let's use the Advanced Search tab to find context for this law. Under Date, let's select Date is Between and enter January 1st, 1955 and July 15th, 1955. Next, we want to refine the collection by selecting Congressional Record Bound from the list. Under Search In, type Air Pollution in the search bar. This pulls up day-to-day records from Congress regarding air pollution. Let's say the first record looks interesting, so let's click the title to view full text. On the Content Details page, we can find the PDF on the left side of the screen under Download. We can use the Search Find function on our browser to search the whole text for the relevant information. We can see what was said on the floor of Congress while discussing the need for a law to decrease and prevent air pollution. As you can see, Gova Info has a lot to offer, and it just takes a little persistence. For additional tips on finding information, contact our Government Info Librarian.
