IN THE STACKS

The Pennsylvania Code site (www.pacode.com) provides a replica of what is available in the hard copy of the Pennsylvania Code. Users will find three options – “about”, “search” and “browse” – on the left side of the home page.



“About” explains the history of the Administrative Code, the format and the function of the code and how to use the code for research. “Search” allows users to enter a query in words or phrases and also provides a list of all titles of the code. The “browse” function provides a content page listing of all titles of the code. Users can highlight the desired title and then click on “select” to link to clickable chapters and sections of the code.



The Pennsylvania Bulletin site (www.pabulletin.com) provides access to the current issue of the bulletin in addition to a searchable database of volumes previously published, as far back as volume 26 for the year 1996.



Users can also search for specific information by typing words or phrases in the query dialog box.



The Attorney General site (www.attorneygeneral.gov) is a newly designed Web site. It provides press releases and consumer advisories on various legal issues.
