THE INTERNATIONALIST
Internet Prospector, July '96
Billed as "the Center for International Business Information," this
site has so many hot links that you should plan to spend an afternoon exploring.
The first level of categories are Books, Services, Travel, Companies and
Store. Most categories include a search by country feature. As an example
of the breadth of this site, the category Financial/Stocks/Investments
for Japan under Services has Bond Market Information, Daiwa Investment
Reports, Economic Updates, the Tokyo stock exchange as well as more than
a dozen other hot links.

INTERNATIONAL SEARCH ENGINES
Internet Prospector, October '98
Amanda Harizan at Nanyang Technological University has built
an impressive collection of Asian search engines. The
engines are organized by region and include engines for
searching in Singapore, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, India,
Japan and other areas. While you are here, be sure to
review Amanda's collection of European engines. You will
find them by scrolling down on the frame on the left side of
this Web address, at the bottom of the list of Asian engine
links.

THE ITA PRESS ROOM
Once at the Department of Commerce's International Trade Association
Press Room, scroll to the bottom of the page to find searchable areas of
the ITA Web site. From the pull-down menu, select Country Commercial
Guides (CCG), then press the "Go" button. From the resulting page,
you can choose to perform literal or boolean searches of GEMS (Global Export
Market Information System) or the CCGs. For example, to find a Russian
business directory you may enter "business directory AND Russia. Each result
has a header with the number within the total returned and buttons that
let you jump to the next or previous record. From this simple search, I
found a list of directories and publisher information.
Use the search button at the top of the page to search current offerings(note
that this is in Java script). From the last pull-down menu on the page,
you can search the Press Room archives. If you want to find U.S. companies
operating in Latvia or the names of the U.S. diplomats in the Newly Independent
States, turn to
http://www.ita.doc.gov/media/
Or jump to GEMS to search or link to regional indexes at
http://www.itaiep.doc.gov/
For more area-specific links, you may want to go directly to Regions
and Countries at
http://www.ita.doc.gov/ita_home/itacnreg.html/
From Internet Trade Associations to embassies to biographies to trade
statistics - the resources at this site are extensive!

MINORITY BUSINESS
NETWORK GLOBAL
Internet Prospector, August '98
There is much to explore here, leading with the finger-on-the-pulse
approach MBN seems to have for both U.S. and international business Web
resources. After you tear yourself away from the home page news stories
from around the world and the Indices of public companies led by
African Americans, South Asians and American Indians, visit the Money &
Finance section. There you'll find links to intriguing stories about
Business Women of Color, IPOs involving Indian Americans and more.
The Organizations section links you to Asian Women in Business, a Web site
developing, among other things, a directory of businesswomen of Asian descent.
Company profiles are good when you find one at this relatively new site
- they include year started and annual gross revenues as well as contact
information.

NEWSTRAWLER
Internet Prospector, April '99
Looking for news on the Internet? Have you,
like me, been
pining for long-gone DataTimes? Researchers
know that
finding prospect news on the Web is one of
the toughest
searches. NewsTrawler is conquering part of
the problem by
giving you a chance to search for archived
news stories
across the globe. Review the electronic
versions of the
print media from NewsTrawler's alpha list
and then set up a
custom page by selecting the newspapers and
journals you
frequently search. You will be able to use
your custom list
as the starting point for your next news search.
Results
retrieved will even indicate if the matches
returned require
a fee for the entire article. I was delighted
to discover
that even my Tacoma, Washington, newspaper
is listed.

WAJENS INTERNATIONAL WHITE & YELLOW PAGES
Internet Prospector, September '96
It seems that this site is not listed in Hansaprint's comprehensive
index of telephone directories on the Web. Wajens is a company born out
of the Internet with the goal to create a system of databases providing
easy access to information. So, select a continent and then find that address
and telephone number you've been unable to locate. Try the Telstra "Dialling
(sic) the World" feature: enter your country and state and that of the
party you plan to call and receive in return the area code access you need
and the day and time at the place you plan to call.
