Exporting Records

Records returned in a search may be exported from the Directory. The exported records include the full name, title, state, chamber, address information, salutation (for easy merge mailing), phone and fax (both capitol and district, as available), as well as the e-mail when available.

To export the search results, do the following:

On the search form, select the "Export" radio button near the bottom.
When you execute the search, the results will be sent to your browser as a delimited text file to download. The file is named "NCSL.csv".
When prompted, select the download option and save the file to your desired directory.
This file can be used as a data source for importing into databases or as a source for mail merges in your wordprocessing application.
If you prefer to have the records in your spreadsheet application, you can simply open the file in MS Excel.
You can now use the saved spreadsheet as a data source for your word processor in creating mailing labels or a merge mail. You also can import the spreadsheet data (and field names) into a database program.
