"This is an updated edition of item 325010 (AALL Publication Series No. 61) (formerly titled Guide to State Legislative and Administrative Materials 2002 ed.) From the preface: This guide brings together the major print and electronic sources of administrative and legislative information for the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the commonwealths and territories. The change in its contents since the last edition reflected the transformation of the world of legal information. The most notable change was the plethora of no-cost information available at law-related websites. The content of this edition has also been affected by the development of Internet search engines; consequently, information more likely to be current at a website was omitted."--Publisher's website.
