Sous anglè: Where to start

Sous anglè: CityScroll gathers public records that New York City agencies already publish — contracts, land-use applications, rules, meetings, civil-service exams, and the agencies and organizations attached to them — and keeps each one linked to the official source it came from.

Sous anglè: If you are here for the first time, start with the first tutorial. It uses one real search and takes about ten minutes, and you do not need an account or an email address to follow it. The two that follow it trace a single published notice back to the law behind it, and an agency through an organization it pays to one award.

Sous anglè: If you already have a task, go straight to How to. If a record has left you with a question about what it means, or a word you have not met before, Understand and Reference answer those without asking you to work through a lesson first.

Sous anglè: Start here

Sous anglè: Tutorials. A guided walk through one real example, so you finish knowing how a whole journey works rather than what one button does.
