  • Library of Congress Global Legal Information Network. "The Global Legal Information Network (GLIN) maintains and provides a database of  laws, regulations, and other complementary legal sources. The documents included  in the database are contributed by the governments of the member nations from the  original official texts which are deposited, by agreement of the members, in a  server initially at the Library of Congress of the United States of America. The basic  elements of this database are: (1) full texts of the documents in the official language of the country of origin; (2) summaries or abstracts in English; and (3) thesauri in English and in as many official languages as are represented in the database. The summaries or abstracts are linked electronically to the corresponding full texts. Currently, information can be searched in English using the instructions appearing on the screen. GLIN is interested in enlisting new partners for the network, and all governments or their designated agencies are invited to participate." Click 'search' on left toolbar and then 'guest' to enter database.
