Currently, the indexer is in a testing phase. Over the next few months, we will be migrating the Pathway index to the Open Text software which is the phase II software for GPO Access.

People also find information by browsing by subjects.
We are using the subject topics from the Subject Bibliographies and analyzing sites by subjects. Government Internet sites are then listed under the appropriate topic. Users can browse through the topic list and select a topic which interests them such as agriculture. The list will be an active list of agency sites which contain information on agriculture. We will continue to work on adding additional listings this spring and will add new sites as they become available.
