 This video is to show you how to use this public policy in the U.S. subject guide when you have a social or public policy issue that you would like to investigate. Once you've watched this video on this Start Here page, the other important things here are one, my contact information, and two, if you are in more of a hurry, the information in the Need Help box. Don't waste your time and get frustrated. Ask for help. The background page contains tips on what info to try to gather first about your policy, as well as three boxes, general information, published analysis, and more information with links and directions in order to help you delve deeper into your policy. There are two tabs about finding law. The statutory law tab, statutory law, are laws passed by the United States House and Senate or by the Ohio Legislature. On this page, there is a video tutorial about how to locate the full text of law when you have a public law number, and then there are boxes with links to guide you through finding reforms and changes over time, as well as how to locate the law as it exists today. And finally, the last box on this page leads you to the databases that can help you locate the state laws. The page on regulatory law follows the same format with a video to start and then boxes down the right to help you locate federal regulations and state regulations and administrative law. The page called CAPTA Example shows examples under each category of what I retrieved when I searched using this guide for information about the public policy called the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act. And then finally, the last page in this guide, Contact a Legislator, is there to help you identify and get the contact information for your elected officials so that you can tell them what you think about the public policy you just investigated.
