FBIS Help

The Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS), which we formerly got on microfiche in Federal Documents, is now available on CD-ROM at the Information Center Desk (1996+). Before 1996, the FBIS is only available on microfiche in the Jonsson Library of Government Documents.

Most of the FBIS from 1996 on is available in the World News Connection (WNC) on the Web, via the Databases A-Z link on the Libraries' homepage. However, the WNC has copyright problems with some of the sources in FBIS, which means that some documents that are cited as FBIS aren't on WNC.

For FBIS materials and cites:

1. Check the World News Connection on the Web.
2. If it isn't there, contact Eric Heath or Joan Loftus about using the CDs at the Information Center Desk. Each disc needs to be installed separately, and, with the Windows 2000 workstations, this must be done by the technical specialist with logon access to those machines.
3. For materials or citations before 1996, see the microfiche in the Jonsson Library of Government Documents, generally filed under its SUDOC number PREX 7.13 in the microfiche cabinets.
