The LRL's Texas Legislators: Past & Present database was recently featured in a webinar presented by the National Conference of State Legislatures' Research Librarians Staff Section.
The webinar focused on legislative member database projects in Texas and Minnesota. Speakers Melanie Harshman, Administrative Librarian for the Legislative Reference Library of Texas, and Elizabeth Lincoln, Deputy Director of the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library, offered ideas for how to begin collecting information for a database, where to find useful sources, and how to deal with challenges along the way.
