Country Pages for the World Completed


The Government Publications Library at the University of Colorado at Boulder is happy to announce that its country pages for ALL countries of the world are now complete. You can access the pages directly from the Government Publications website (http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/govpubs/for/foreigngovt.htm) OR by searching the Research & Subject Guides Database (http://ucblibraries.colorado.edu/research/guides/index.cfm) by country name.
For ease of use, each page is arranged in a consistent manner. A navigation menu at the top provides quick access to frequently-requested information:
Government Information Country Profiles Articles & Databases Diplomatic Relations Health Peacekeeping & Military Information Resources in the Catalog Related Topics.
Selecting one of the Resources in the Catalog links generates a live Chinook search for country-specific e-resources on economics, history, or politics. There's also an option to limit your search to government information only.
A number of instructors direct their students to use the guides. The country pages are also among the most frequently-searched-for items in the guides database.
Although some of the links are limited to CU-Boulder because of license restrictions, a majority of the links are to freely available resources.
