ESO - European Sources Online

Dear All,

ESO - European Sources Online

Please note that we have a new resource for European Information which can be accessed from the list of databases and the European Information subject portal. Cardiff University have produced a database that makes navigating the European Union EUROPA site much easier. ESO is an online database that provides information on the institutions and activities of the European Union, the countries, regions and other international organisation in Europe, the issues of importance to European citizens and stake holders.

It also includes access to research organisations and institutions. Included are books, journal articles and newspapers with a European slant.

At present, it is only available on campus.
