There was a lot of chatter in the blogosphere about In Custodia Legis posts. Francisco’s History of the Mexican Constitution was mentioned and linked to in View From Casita Colibrí. I also noticed that this same posting was tweeted about a couple of times and that it is cited on Wikipedia’s article on the Constitution of Mexico, under the External Links section. Also, Francisco’s pic post, Banner Proclaiming the Spanish Constitution of 1812, was blogged about in Spanish on InVito.
The Speaker of the House’s blog linked to the In Custodia Legis Congressional Record app post and mentioned the House Committee Live Streams page on THOMAS.
There were two government document blogs, Samford University Library and MPL Gov Info, that linked to the President’s Budget post by Margaret. There was a nice mention of Kimberly Ferguson’s guest post, “Bills To Be Considered on the House Floor” Repository, at Virtual Library Cat’s Eye View with a very flattering quote: “I often find wonderful and helpful information on the In Custodia Legis: Law Librarians of Congress blog.”
Kelly’s Australian Parliament’s New Website post was cross posted on Slaw and Library Boy. It also includes a nice quote about the Law Library:
And then there is the Law Library of Congress in Washington. I don’t even know where to start describing its online resources. Just glance down the listings in the central column on the home page and you get an idea of the breadth and depth of coverage, of both US and foreign law.
