Follow up on the new THOMAS Share Tools

By Dallas Association of Law Librarians

In my previous post, I linked to an announcement of the new sharing tools from the THOMAS legislative web site. Here's an example of using one of the features.

Suppose you need to send a link to a house or senate bill status page to one of your patrons. The new Share/Save toolbar makes this easy.

• Find the house or senate bill
• Click on the Share/Save link
• Click on the Save tab
• Copy the URL and paste it to your email, web site, blog, etc.

Example: H.R.3590, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law No: 111-148).

Click on the Share/Save link, Save tab, and copy the resulting URL: http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.uscongress/legislation.111hr3590

You may also share via your favorite social networking tools, or even use their email tool to send to a patron.
