COLUMBIA – Fairfield County residents can use computers to keep track of their state lawmakers and in March, The State Library’s Information Services department will offer another training session on how to use those resources.

The workshop at the South Carolina State Library, 1500 Senate St. in Columbia will be held from 9:30 a.m. to noon March 19.

This 2½ hour class familiarizes users with ways to follow the process of legislation. Attendees will look at resources to find legislators, track bills, and find laws and statutes for both South Carolina and the United States.

Attendees will learn how to use the South Carolina Legislative Research website (scstatehouse.gov), other resources for state and county information, Thomas.gov and FdSys for federal resources.

Attendees will also learn what DISCUS (South Carolina’s Virtual Library) resources can help with news and analysis. This is a good class for students, teachers, state employees or anyone who might be interested in following particular laws or bills on a state or federal level.
