Stat-USA News

August brought a bevy of activity to STAT-USA/Internet, as new data were
added and more educational tools were introduced:
* State of the Nation's "Current Versions of America's Top 50" files now
offer pop-up boxes that describes the corresponding report. The
descriptions vary in length, but all provide an overview of the report, how
it’s compiled, its release schedule (weekly, monthly, et cetera) and the
source agency.
* Country Studies Country Profile Reports have been added to the
International Trade Library in GLOBUS & NTDB. They provide brief,
summarized information on a country’s historical background, geography,
society, economy, transportation, telecommunications, government and
politics, and national security.
* The International Trade Update Newsletter has been added to the
International Trade Library.
* Older Country Background Notes have been removed so it is now much
easier to find the country information you’re interested in.
