Library of Congress 

Welcome web detectives.  This part of our assignment requires us to find out secret information as part of your training.  We're going to have to dig to find it, but a good detective will stay at it until the answers are found.  First we must access the Library of Congress at http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/gateway.html.  Remember to click the back button on the browser to return to this page.
