 The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) is a bipartisan organization that serves the legislators and staffs of the nation’s 50 states, its commonwealths and territories. NCSL provides research, technical assistance and opportunities for policymakers to exchange ideas on the most pressing state issues. NCSL is also an effective and respected advocate for the interests of state governments before Congress and federal agencies.
Within NCSL, the National Association of Legislative Information Technology (NALIT) provides legislative information technology managers and staff with opportunities for training, professional growth and information sharing. NALIT also needs to provide internal and external search access to legislative documents — bills, amendments, committee analyses, journals, statutes, register documents, administrative code sections.
When NALIT needed to replace its search engine, NALIT chose the dtSearch Engine. From its analysis posted as an online document entitled “Replacing a Search System”: “We found dtSearch ... People easy to work with ... Product easy to work with,” including the dtSearch Engine “.NET platform.” “dtSearch AP I — robust, well documented.” The conclusion: “Cool Stuff.” |
