Thomas.gov retiring in July

The main source for online Federal legislative information for almost 20 years, THOMAS.gov will be retiring this upcoming July. Since 2012 information on THOMAS has slowly migrated to the new Congress.gov

The Library of Congress blog has a great post on the history of THOMAS and the transition. For longtime researchers, it's the end of an era. However, the newer Congress.gov boasts improved infrastructure, responsive design, and more tools researchers need to stay on top of the latest legislative action in Congress.
