Automated systems support.-Central computer support to all operations of the Library is provided by the Automated Systems Office. This support consists of systems analysis, programming, and operation of central computers, minicomputers and data communication services.

Optical disk program.-In 1982 the Library began research in the use of optical disks for image preservation and retrieval with a view to using this advanced technology for the preservation and management of its collections. The program has two aspects: print or textual materials stored on digital optical disks and pictorial materials stored on analog optical disks (videodisks). The Library is actively studying the results gained from the pilot program. It hopes to phase in the new technology in all appropriate activities throughout the organization.

Central support services.-This activity supports the executive staff of the Office of the Librarian; exhibit, information, and publication activities; personnel, budget and finance, procurement, buildings management, and other centralized services. It also includes rental of space off Capitol Hill.

American Folklife Center.-Public Law 94-201 established the American Folklife Center in the Library of Congress "to preserve and present American folklife" through field documentation, consultancies, research, publishing, exhibition and dissemination of information.

Deacidification facility.-Public Law 98-427 authorized the Library of Congress to construct a deacidification facility for the operation of the diethyl zinc preservation process. The funding for this project was provided under Public Law 98-396. The funds are to remain available until expended.

praisal, and evaluation of any subject matter of legislative concern, including recommendations submitted to the Congress by the Executive Branch. Research services are also provided to assist Congress with its oversight, representative, and other responsibilities. Support takes the form of background studies, in-depth policy analyses, consultations, briefings, legal research, continuous liaison with committees, assistance with committee hearings, public policy seminars for Members and congressional staff, and related data and materials. In order to respond most effectively to the broad range of congressional inquiries, the Service supplements individually tailored products with Issue Briefs, Reports, Committee Prints, and "Info Packs", which are collections of both CRS products and carefully selected materials from outside sources that provide background material on issues of very high congressional interest. Lists of subjects and policy areas that a committee might profitably pursue are periodically made available to each congressional committee. As provided by statute, the Service prepares decennially the Constitution of the United States-Analysis and Interpretation, and supplements at 2-year intervals, prepares compendiums for the annual national high school and college debate topics, and provides assistance to the Congressional Budget Office, the Office of Technology Assessment, and the General Accounting Office.

Upon request, the Service prepares legislative history memorandums on bills for which hearings have been announced, and compiles and makes available to each committee reports on legislatively authorized programs and activities within that committee's jurisdiction that are scheduled to terminate during the current Congress.

Information and reference service.-The Congressional Research Service provides extensive information and reference assistance to Members and committees. Reference files containing clippings, pamphlets, and documents and automated information services are maintained for rapid information retrieval. Lists of selected reports, prepared by CRS staff on legislative issues, are regularly distributed to congressional offices. To provide faster responses and in-person services, the Service also maintains reference centers in congressional office buildings and the Congressional Reading Rooms in the Madison and Jefferson Buildings of the Library of Congress.

Executive direction and support.-Providing overall supervision and administrative support to the entire Congressional Research Service is the responsibility of the Office of the Director and the administrative personnel.
