Global Desktop Research Databases

The Catalog of Research Databases is a global resource which lists critical business databases in countries that are free to search. You can search the directory by region of the world; by country; or by “type” of the resource, eg. directory, legal, intellectual property etc. I find this especially helpful when I am researching a country that I don’t know much about, as it gives me a head start in finding some reliable first options for that vital bit of information.
