Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
http://lawpac.colorado.edu/record=b618603

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities is a nonpartisan research organization and policy institute that conducts research and analysis on a range of government policies and programs, with an emphasis on those affecting low and moderate income people. The Center conducts research to help shape public debates over proposed budget and tax policies and to help ensure that policymakers consider the needs of low-income families and individuals in these debates. In addition, the Center examines the short- and long-term impacts of proposed policies on the health of the economy and the soundness of federal and state budgets.

Previous Websites of the Month can be found at: http://www.aallnet.org/sis/obssis/localsys/webomonthold.htm

As a service to OBS-SIS members, a MARC record of a legal website is distributed on the OBS-SIS discussion list each month. We encourage you to try it out and see if your library might want to include it in your online catalog. Cataloging is provided by the University of Colorado Law Library.

The links below each site name will connect you to the University of Colorado's online system. From the record you can view the website itself by following the links, or view the MARC tagging format by selecting the MARC Display button at the top of the screen. Cataloging questions should be addressed to Yumin Jiang.

Thanks to Karen Selden and OCLC, we can now keep up on cataloging the AALL OBS-SIS Legal Websites of the Month. Here is a solution to minimize your workload and add those records in an economical and streamlined manner. Libraries can logon to the WorldCat Collection Sets order form to place their order for AALL OBS-SIS Legal Websites of the Month MARC records. There are several processing options available on the order form. If libraries already have some of these records and have set their holdings in WorldCat, OCLC has an option to output only the records that do not already have their institution symbol set in WorldCat. If libraries want to receive new records that are added each month, they should select the standing order option on the order form.
