For more than 100 years, Gongwer News Service (www.gongwer-oh.com) has provided detailed news and information about state government and politics.
At a time when Ohioans have signaled a growing interest in state government actions–particularly spending decisions–Gongwer is offering a significant discount in its subscription rate for Ohio public libraries. From coverage of every bill pending in the General Assembly to major Ohio news events, Gongwer brings readers crucial details that aren’t available anywhere else. This information is delivered through a variety of real-time online services, including breaking news alerts, personalized e-mail updates and more.
Gongwer subscribers have access to Ohio’s most extensive government news and legislation database, which provides details on events dating back as far as four decades. Patrons and staff of subscribing libraries will also be able to create their own accounts on the Gongwer site, allowing them to receive an e-mail whenever there is action on issues of particular interest.
In addition to many other services, Gongwer also provides a series of tools that help Ohioans communicate with their representatives in Columbus. The unanimous choice of the legislature and administration, Gongwer is The Record of Capitol Square.
