- Some days particularly remind me of the government.
- April 15th is one of those days. July 4th is
- another. The Founders of our nation believed the
- free flow of information was so important, they
- protected it in our Constitution. Although Benjamin
- Franklin could scarcely have imagined the
- information available today, GEnie provides a flow
- that at once helps you to maintain freedom and
- celebrate it.

- Federal Information Connection
-
- U.S. Federal Center lets you access the full text
- of the Federal Register, the Federal News Service,
- Tax Notes Today, and the Washington Post. You can
- search through these and other sources, all at the
- same time, which makes your searches for government
- information extremely efficient.
-
- Simply enter the topic you're interested in,
- whether it's a subject on agency regulations,
- upcoming legislation or recent court decisions.
- U.S. Federal Center covers national affairs news,
- government purchasing, and important publications.
-
- Ask your question, and the computer will quickly
- search through thousands of journals, magazines,
- and reports to let you know where information on
- your topic can be found. Choose from the titles
- shown and start reviewing the results.
-
- For the People....
-
- To reach the U.S. Federal Center, enter the keyword
- FEDERALCTR or type M1248 at any GEnie page prompt.
- This is a GEnie$Premium service, so charges in
- addition to connect time apply. Select Menu Item 2
- on Page 1248 to review the complete listing of
- applicable prices. All additional charges for the
- U.S. Federal Center are directly related to the
- searches you perform and the information you
- retrieve. The U.S. Federal Center divides each step
- of your search and retrieval into different
- classifications.
-
- U.S. Federal Center accesses databases from the
- Bureau of National Affairs, the U.S. Government
- Printing Office, the National Technical Information
- Service, the Washington Post, and Federal
- Information Systems Corp. It is made available by
- Dialog Information Services, Inc. and offered
- through GEnie via Advanced Research Technologies'
- ARTIST(R) Gateway System.
-
- If you choose the Multiple Database Search option,
- the first step searches through the databases which
- cover that topic to find how many times your search
- term occurs and in what subject areas it appears. A
- Groupsearch then displays a menu containing this
- information.
-
- No-Hit Insurance
-
- If no matches are found, a lower "No-Hit" search
- fee applies to cover the expense involved in
- searching these databases on your behalf.
-
- Next you can select a "title review" from the menu
- resulting from the Groupsearch. Specify which
- source you want to see; the headlines of the
- matched articles, up to 10 at a time, will be
- displayed on your screen. Each set of up to 10
- titles you review from each source will result in
- an additional title review charge.
-
- Finally, you can elect to read the full-text
- article, if available in electronic format,
- represented by any of the titles displayed. (If the
- full-text article is not available online, an
- abstract or full bibliographic citation will be
- displayed instead.) A "full-text review" charge
- applies for each article you request to see in
- full-text.
-
- A running total of charges-so-far for your current
- session is displayed each time you return to a
- menu. In addition, each time you leave the U.S.
- Federal Center using the "<RE>turn to GEnie"
- command, a summary of all "per search" charges for
- your current session is displayed, so there are no
- surprises when you get the bill.
