International Business: Internet Sources

Google's advanced search allows you to search by domain name (on bottom line of the advanced search form).

Entering .edu or .gov into this line will only return results from educational or US government sites, which tend to contain more reliable scholarly or factual information. You will still have to evaluate the sites for authority, accuracy, currency, and objectivity.

There are many Internet gateways and high quality resources that provide high quality international business information. Some of the ones we recommend are:

• Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, publications available from ECLAC
