Editorial Reviews

[C]onvenient for users seeking information on a single country. . . . [V]ery detailed subject index is most helpful. . . . Because many Internet sites are short-lived or not routinely updated, Liu gives preference to government and university sites, which are deemed more stable and reliable. . . . Most libraries will need only one guide, and Liu's is sufficient. Recommeded for any collection serving businesses or students interested in international business.” —Choice

“[T]his comprehensive resource will help individuals and organizations easily and quickly pinpoint specific business information on any country. . . . Especially useful to new surfers and those who are pressed for time; recommended for international and general collections.” —Library Review

“Internet Resources and Services for International Business provides an excellent shortcut to international information.” —ARBA

“With the release of this guide, Oryx has provided another useful tool to the resources of international business researchers. (The guide) takes some of the myth and mystery out of research, and leads researchers to what are currently the best web sites for international business information.” —Business Information Alert
