Louisiana State University Webliograpy- MARKETING (U.S. and INTERNATIONAL) links. The Webliography is an outstanding on line library, with the international business section hosting links to an extensive number of helpful country reports.

MSU CIBER- Michigan State University Center for International Business education. Rating: . Provides Hundreds of links for news, country info, govt. resources, etc. Includes a searchable database of WWW resources.

Serra International, a freight forwarding company, hosts an extremely comprehensive site of exporting and importing information. Great information (the site has been updated recently), but it is still very hard on the eyes! Very nice list of links for Country data and directories. A great place to learn about exporting ins and outs. (Excuse the puns).

International Advertising Resource Center - An extensive list of resources for international advertising and media. Also contains some valuable international links.

Regional Resources

Misc.

If you do run across an interesting web in a language that you can not understand, visit the International translator at Altavista. Our experience with French to English translations has been excellent- surprisingly quick translations that weren't perfect, but they were clear enough to get the gist of the material.§
