Searchable Database: PoliticalMoneyLine�s Federal Lobbyist Directory

Resources of the Week
3 selections.
---
Lobbyists--United States--Searchable Database
1) PoliticalMoneyLine�s Federal Lobbyist Directory
PoliticalMoneyLine is a respected resource for campaign finance and related information. The site�s creators and chief database programmers, Kent Cooper and Tony Raymond, have built a large and growing assortment of both free and fee-based search tools.
The Federal Lobbyist Directory (search or browse) contains data about, �Individuals or Entities That Lobby, Lobby On Behalf of Others, or Hire Lobbyists To Lobby For Them�. Currently, the database offers material for about 2500 lobbying organizations, 25,000 clients, and over 28,000 individual lobbyists. Searching �Microsoft� returns a list of current lobbyists, and links to images of original filings. A search for �Patton Boggs� returns a client list, links to political action committee data, a list of company lobbyists, and direct links to quickly access new registrations and former clients.
The Federal Lobbyist Directory (available free) as well as other fee-based and PoliticalMoneyLine resources are "more that worth" of a place on your virtual reference shelf.

Browsing the filings is free. Keyword searching requires a subscription.

You Might Have Missed
Congressional Research Service
2) Another Frequently Updated Source for Congressional Research Service Reports
I've said on several occasions, a single publicly available source offering access to CRS reports is not available. Plus, in many cases the reports you do find "on the web" are not very current. CRS spends a great deal of time updating material. A selection of reports compiled by the U.S. Embassy in Rome is one of a few sites that does a good job of making the most current version of reports (the ones it collects) available. Again, no single source offers access to all CRS reports.
Other Sources That Add and Update CRS Reports on a Regular Basis:
Reports from the Congressional Research Service (Gateway)
Environmental Topics--CRS Reports
International Relations--CRS Reports
--
3) History--Digital Collections
Source: Hebrew University of Jerusalem/Jewish National and University Library.
Historic Cities: Maps & Documents
From the site, The site is intended to contain maps, literature, documents, books and other relevant material concerning the past, present and future of historic cities and to facilitate the location of similar content on the web.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
