Here's the IP-enabled address for the CRS Reports trial from GalleryWatch:

From Julie:
"Some of you know that the reports from the Congressional Research Service are excellent sources for government research, but are very hard to locate since they are created for Congress, not the public. We now have a trial of a new product which includes about 90% of CRS reports from 1999. It comes from GalleryWatch, which is working with Pennyhill Press on this product.
We will have this trial through ALA, at least. As far as we know the price will be somewhere around $3500. Please try it and think about its usefulness. Also alert any faculty or students who might make use of it. Send comments to Julie."

-Like the ability both list all results and have them emailed to self (well maybe; getting an "error on page" message in IE)
-appears to work equally well in IE and Firefox (yay)
-full-text coverage is a lot more limited than implied; a title search for "terrorism" yields 170 references, but full-text is only 53% of the results and many special order publications are within GalleryWatch's 1999- framework of full-text.
