This guide is intended as a repository of resources specifically for research using materials produced and collected in other countries. The main resources included here are links to national libraries, national bibliographies and union catalogs. Additional regional resources have been included where appropriate. These resources would be useful to researchers looking at the history of a particular country or region. There is the potential to find resources or historical items through a national library or regional union catalog that are not indexed anywhere else. This is also a resource for catalogers. they can use these resources when cataloging foreign materials that are not found in OCLC. Navigation can be done through the tabs at the top or the table of contents to the left. Resources are divided geographically. On each continental main page there are maps indicating what countries are included in the regional subsections. Regional subsections are based on the macro geographical divisions as defined by the United Nations Statistical Division. This will be added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
