Several new research tools are available on the USPS Corporate Library’s Subscription Databases Blue page, including resources related to the coronavirus pandemic.
Here’s an overview:
• Industry research. Curious to see how various U.S. industries have weathered past economic downturns? The U.S. Industry Wizard — one of the “Expert Tools” options in the IBISWorld section — allows users to compare data across industries from 2000 to today, as well as projections to 2026.
• Legal and regulatory research. LexisNexis is providing complimentary access to coronavirus-related information in several of its research databases, including State Net and Law360.
State Net tracks state and federal government activity related to the coronavirus — including pending bills, new regulations and executive orders.
Law360 tracks the latest court closures and restrictions. Access is now available to all Law360 COVID-19 articles at no charge.
• New on HeinOnline. The U.S. Congressional Documents database on HeinOnline offers full-text searching of the Congressional Record, congressional hearings, the U.S. Serial Set and reports from the Congressional Budget Office and the Government Accountability Office, among others.
