INFORMATION SERVICES
Drawing from a specialized collection of books, journals, and published and unpublished documents on the work of the federal courts, the Center serves as a national clearinghouse for information on federal judicial administration. Last year, it answered some 1,800 requests for information from judges and court staff, libraries, government agencies, academic institutions, research organizations, bar groups, and the media.

MEDIA LIBRARY
The media library contains almost 3,600 audio and video programs, including Center-produced educational video programs, videotapes of Center broadcasts on the FJTN, audiotapes of seminars and workshops, and more than 700 commercially produced video programs. In 2003, the media library loaned nearly 800 copies of programs to federal judges and judicial branch personnel on request and sent some 2,500 copies of its media programs directly to the courts for them to keep and use in local education and training programs. Many Center-produced media programs are available to the public through the National Technical Information Service of the Department of Commerce.
