Free Online Research Tools: FDsys Retiring Soon

Don’t forget, the Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System (FDsys) website will be retired on December 14, 2018 and replaced by govinfo.gov. Govinfo, which has been available in beta since 2016, has all of the content available on FDsys, but with improved search capabilities and new features. The enhancements include a mobile-friendly interface, links to related documents for some collections, sortable search filters, and notification feeds. Govinfo also offers expanded help information and tutorials. As with FDsys, content on govinfo is authenticated by GPO using digital signatures and validation icons. Existing links to FDsys content will automatically redirect to the equivalent page on govinfo, as closely as possible.
