About GovInfo

GovInfo is a website run by the U.S. Government Publishing Office that provides access to U.S. government documents. Users can browse documents alphabetically, by collection, by date or date range, by issuing committee, or by government author.

The homepage lists a range of collections, including the Congressional Record, Federal Register, United States Code, Public and Private Laws, United States Courts Opinions, United States Reports, and Economic Indicators. The Serial Set is described in the release notes as having digitization in progress, so its coverage may be incomplete. The homepage does not state pricing.
