Additional Advice to Researchers:
I wish you luck on your research endeavor. Whatever goals you are hoping to reach for, just know that laws and policy are ever changing. Here are some suggestions:
Be sure to double check dates on policies and resources.
US government websites usually have the most up to date information.
Double check translations if the wording sounds odd or unfamiliar to you.
Sometimes even the best translations tools aren't perfect.
Don't be afraid to reach out to the librarian for additional guidance.
