newsletter reviews useful Web sites from the Web Resources database at FITA's International Trade/ Import-Export Portal at www.fita.org, an
excellent source for trade leads, news, events, and a link
library of 3,000+ sites related to international trade.

Please feel free to pass this newsletter on to others.
My name is John McDonnell, and for years I wrote a weekly e-
newsletter that profiled business-oriented Web sites. Now I'm
using my Web research skills to find sites that are useful for
international trade, as well as some fun sites that you'll enjoy
visiting.

GOOD VIBES
http://libweb.uncc.edu/ref-bus/vibehome....
I always like Web sites that are created and maintained by
librarians. Librarians are skilled at finding and organizing
sources of information, whether in book or electronic form, so
you know a librarian's site will be worth visiting. Once such
site is Virtual International Business & Economic Sources (VIBES) atlibweb.uncc.edu/ref-bus/vibehome.htm, created by Jeanie M. Welch, a librarian at the University of North Carolina. The information on this site is as unbiased and reliable as you're going to find on the Net.
VIBES gives you quality, not quantity. Instead of overwhelming
you with thousands of links to Web sites, most of which are
useless, outdated, or lacking in content, Jeanie has carefully
put together a list of 1,600 links to free international business
and economic information on the Internet, much of it from
government or academic sources. Click on the Table of Contents
and you'll see a subject list that goes from Agricultural &
Forest Products to Trade Issues & Statistics. There's also a list
of sites devoted to specific regions of the world, and an
alphabetical list of sites devoted to countries.

ASIAN LIBRARY
http://www.ntu.edu.sg/library/virtual.ht...
And while we're on the subject of librarians, here's another site
that has a librarian's fingerprints on it. Nanyang University's
Virtual Library Subject Guides at www.ntu.edu.sg/library/virtual.htm has a treasure trove
of information, especially about Asia. Their Singapore and Asia
section has tons of resources, and you'll also find lots of good
links if you scroll down to their International Resources
section.

EXPERTERS
http://www.rexco.com/the500/by_experts.h...
Want to learn more about exporting? Rexco's "Experters" at www.rexco.com/the500/by_experts.htm is a page that has
links to exporting guides, tutorials, and other resources to help
you have more success in exporting.

INTERNATIONAL JOBS
http://www.globalcareercenter.com/
Sometimes I fantasize about chucking my suburban life and moving
to Paris, or Rome, or maybe even Hong Kong. It's just a fantasy,
but if I ever want to make it a reality the first place I'll
visit is GlobalCareerCenter.com at www.globalcareercenter.com. This Web site has postings
for jobs all over the world. You can search by country, job
category, or keyword, and your search will return a list of jobs
that fit your criteria. If you see one you like, you can click on
it to get detailed information about the job, along with contact
information. This site works for both employers and job seekers.
Employers can post their jobs, search for international resumes
posted by job seekers, create resume search agents, and track the
status of each applicant. The site is free for employers and
applicants.
