Publisher's Synopsis
This ready-reference guide to international online, CD-ROM, and Internet sources saves the reader valuable time finding news information. With its simple to use charts and alphabetic listings, this guide provides quick answers to questions, such as:
* Which online and CD-ROM databases provide news information from Russia?
* Which online services have strong Asian news coverage?
* Is there a CD-ROM database providing news from Switzerland? and
* Where is a 1993 story from The Chicago Tribune available online?
Focusing on commercial and economic news as well as current affairs, this guide will be of particular interest to journalists and commercial researchers. Sections on news online and CD-ROM databases are organized by region and country, and help the reader identify potentially useful sources by describing the language(s) of the source, the date range covered, and the format of the records and providers. Product files of all the online databases and CD-ROMs listed make up the third section of the guide, presenting contact details of the provider, the subjects covered by the product, and the geographic focus of the file.
To find out more about a particular product, an alphabetic list of all the publishers and vendors of the online services and CD-ROMs in this reference will provide a useful point of contact. A country by country list of the World Wide Web sites providing news information makes up the final section of the book. This gives URLs for the Web sites of specific newspapers and other news based sites.
