SPECIALIZED DATABASE: The United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) intends to award a sole source purchase order to W.S. Hein, Inc., 2350 North Forest Road, Getzville, NY 14068, for online access to its HeinOnline database. HeinOnline provides access to more than 80 million pages of legal history in a fully searchable, image-based format. Comprehensive coverage is offered to more than 1,700 legal and law-related periodicals and journals, the Congressional Record, the Federal Register, and other publications, including treaties, legal treatises, legislative histories, and GAO publications not currently available in an electronic format. Original documents are reproduced with exact page images in PDF, including charts, graphs, tables, pictures, handwritten notes, photographs, and footnotes. Electronic access to publications issued before the digital era is insufficient for the research needs of the agency and HeinOnline fills that need through its exhaustive collections of legal materials. Considered as a whole, the information provided by these subscriptions is not available elsewhere from any other source in electronic format.
