Body#
The library turns public documents (PDF and Word files) into web pages. You can read them on any phone or computer, without downloading anything.
Finding a document#
- Start from the library, which lists every document.
- Narrow it down by topic: each document lists its topics, and each topic shows everything tagged with it.
- Open a document to read it in your browser.
Reading a document#
Each document starts with a short summary, then a list of its sections. Select a section to jump straight to it.
- Headings follow the original document, so the order is the same as the printed version.
- Links in the text go to the original sources.
- Related documents are listed at the end.
Downloading the original#
Most documents have a Download original link, for when you need the file exactly as it was published.
