Alumni Library offers new Federal Legislative Resource Center

The Federal Legislative Resource Center, new this month on the Alumni Library online, will help viewers to become better informed on newly introduced legislation and how senators or representatives voted on pending items.

Penn State alumni also can access some of the electronic resources through the Alumni Library at http://alumni.libraries.psu.edu. Alumni Association members have access to JSTOR, a database of multidisciplinary and discipline specific scholarly articles in the sciences and humanities. Other search tools include ProQuest products (Online, ABI, and National Newspaper) as well as Project MUSE.

These resources and more can be found at Penn State's Alumni Library, a joint project of the University Libraries and the Penn State Alumni Association. The Penn State Alumni Association strives to connect alumni to the University, to each other, provide valuable benefits to members, and support the University’s mission of teaching, research and service.
