CIS indexes Congressional publications including House and Senate reports, hearings, committee prints, and public laws. It is updated monthly. Newest issues of the index and abstracts are in large notebooks at the end of the annual bound volumes on the index tables in government documents. Note the number after each title. For newer years, the index provides access to documents published in one year.
Older years have cumulative indexes covering several years.
Use the abstract volume that matches the year of your index. In the case of a cumulative index, the year given in bold face type tells which abstract volume to use. June 19, 1993. In newer CIS volumes, the call number has a tiny circle in front of it. Look up your call number in the List of Classes of United States Government Publications Available for Selection by Depository Libraries .
