At Coherent Digital, we believe inclusive research is better research.

Every year, policy organizations around the world publish tens of billions of dollars of research in the form of grey literature—hundreds of thousands of reports, studies, white papers, data sets, and other materials, all peer or expert reviewed. This material is overlooked by traditional publishers, is often not citable and is underused. 

We specialize in finding and preserving endangered materials—grey literature, primary sources, new media, voices from the Global South—and making them accessible. We serve over 1,500 customers on six continents with collections and services for research and learning. Our customers include academic libraries, governments, think tanks, and corporations.

Policy Commons is the world's most comprehensive policy database.

It indexes and hosts over 14 million grey literature documents from 40,000 organizations, curating and preserving important reports like the George Floyd investigation for future generations.

With Policy Commons you can...

  • Discover and cite millions of reports through one site. Policy Commons makes local, state, regional, and national government data available alongside research produced by IGOs, NGOs, and think tanks.
  • Save hours with a suite of search tools. With full-text searching, wildcard truncation, Boolean and proximity operators, and dozens of search filters, you’ll quickly find exactly what you’re looking for.
  • Uncover "lost" content. We've rescued and recovered millions of publications from defunct websites, reports removed from the web, and exclusive digitized backfiles.
  • Diversify your research. You’ll find documents from virtually all countries, including content from the Global South, and from small think tanks whose output is missed or deprecated by search engines.
  • Keep your research current. We add thousands of new reports every week. Follow organizations, people, topics—even your own searches—and be the first to know about new reports relevant to your research. 
  • Download tables. We extract tables so that you can find them without opening a single PDF, download the tables in CSV or image format, and cite the table, not just the report.
  • Add the content you care about. Tell us about organizations important to your research. We’ll check the sources for quality, add them to the directory, and index their content. Institutional access includes this on-demand service.
  • Discover your real-world impact. Our tools display where your organization is mentioned in grey literature. Include these case studies in your impact reports with our permanent links and identifiers.
  • Publish to our community. We invite our users to upload their own content if they own the copyright, or upload links to other digital resources if they do not. We’ll enrich and index your uploaded item, give it a permanent URL, and publish it. Through our partnership with Google Scholar, your content will be discoverable to millions of researchers within days.

LAWLIBEAREY

The mission of the Law Library of Congress is to provide authoritative legal research, reference and instruction services, and access to an unrivaled collection of U.S., foreign, comparative, and international law. To accomplish this mission, the Law Library has assembled a staff of experienced foreign and U.S.-trained legal specialists and law librarians and has amassed the world's largest collection of law books and other legal resources from all countries, now comprising more than 2.9 million items. Currently, the Law Library operates under three main areas of expertise:

Collection Services

The Law Library serves as the nation’s custodian of legal and legislative collections from all countries and legal systems of the world housed in the Library of Congress. As custodian, the Law Library maintains, retrieves, preserves, and secures the print and microform collections. Maintenance includes the shelving of all incoming volumes and serial pieces, filing of incoming loose-leaf updates, advance sheets, and pocket parts, and the weeding of superseded volumes. Retrieval includes the servicing of any material requested. Preservation includes the preparation for binding of newly collated volumes, and the preparation of material to be digitized, microfilmed, or boxed. Security of the collection involves making sure all Library of Congress regulations on this topic are followed in the handling of the legal collection.

Foreign Law Research

The Law Library of Congress provides foreign and comparative legal and legislative information services to national and global researchers through its Foreign Law Specialists. The foreign law specialists are a diverse group of foreign-trained attorneys whose primary jurisdictions include Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the European Union, France, Germany, Greece, India, Iran, Israel, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Nicaragua, Russia, and the United Kingdom. Other jurisdictions are attended to by additional foreign-trained attorneys retained under special contracts. They provide research guidance and assistance using the Law Library's foreign, international, and comparative law collections, as well as information and analysis through the Global Legal Monitor and Legal Reports.

Public Services

In addition to foreign and comparative legal information services, the Law Library also provides research assistance and reference services on United States federal and state legal issues to national and global constituents. Through its staff of skilled law librarians, the Law Library guides requesters to appropriate print and electronic resources and advises constituents on efficient and effective research techniques. They produce a variety of online products, including:

NHHC

NHHC

The Naval History and Heritage Command traces its lineage to 1794, when the Navy Department Library was established under the Naval Bureau, which was part of the War Department in Philadelphia. In 1800, President John Adams asked Benjamin Stoddert, the first Secretary of the Navy, to prepare a catalog of professional books best suited for a naval library. Today, the NHHC is the central resource for today’s operational Navy and acts as the service's institutional memory. Headquartered on the historic Washington Navy Yard, D.C., the Command includes ten Navy museums nationwide as well as a detachment that maintains the Navy’s oldest commissioned warship, USS Constitution, in Boston, Mass.

The NHHC manages the official history program of the United States Navy, fulfilling its mission to strengthen the Navy’s effectiveness by preserving, analyzing, and interpreting the service’s hard-earned experience. A professional staff of historians, archivists, librarians, museum specialists, and naval personnel carries out historical activities and supports the fleet.

The Command oversees Navy programs and instructions related to history; advances knowledge of naval history and heritage through professional research, analysis, and interpretation, delivering a range of knowledge products and services; advises the Navy, other agencies, and the public on issues related to Navy ship and aircraft wrecks; and administers grants, fellowships, scholarships, and internships related to naval history.
