***************************************************************** The website in the attached announcement was noted in 29 November issue of The Scout Report, and may be of interest to some members of the list. I have checked the (rather long) address to confirm that it works (it does), and was very impressed with the range of information links. The announcement is presented as it appeared. ***************************************************************** VIBES--Virtual International Business and Economics Sources ***************************************************************** Individuals learning to do business on the Internet will no doubt want to take advantage of the international reach of the global network, and VIBES can help.This well organized pointers page contains links to full-text files (in English), statistical tables, and graphs on topics related to international business. The sites are organized into three major categories:
* comprehensive sites, which are not restricted to a single nation or region; * regional (Africa, Asia-Pacific, Eastern/Western Europe, Latin America, Middle East, and NAFTA); and * national, organized alphabetically.
Most entries indicate the source of the information, and some offer a very concise statement of the scope of the data avail- able.
The site is maintained by Jeanie M. Welch, Reference Unit Head and International Business Subject Specialist at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and the 1996 Dun & Bradstreet Online Champion of the Year.
