Self-description: "A cooperative venture of The Ohio State University Libraries, the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Libraries, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries."
Supplied note: "The catalog includes freely available [Asian] Internet resources on a broad range of disciplines in the social sciences such as business and economics, education, political science, and sociology and topics such as banking and finance, demography and population, environment, gender, health, industry and trade, and politics, government, and international relations. [...] They include bibliographies and databases, data sets, newspapers and journals, research reports, homepages or government bodies and organizations, and more."
Site contents: Search DAL, About DAL, Contacts, Submit a Resource.
[A fast growing a bibliography of online materials. Unfortunately, these are exceedingly volatile and totally unsuitable for cataloguing by hand. The site needs to develop a workable strategy for long-term handling of resources which have moved to a new location or have been closed down- ed.]
