Do colleagues know about SOSIG - the Social Science Information
Gateway? The SOSIG catalogue of Internet resources has an extensive
range of resources for all the social science subjects. The catalogue
entries for business and economics are in fact provided by Biz/ed and
can be cross-searched along with the Biz/ed ones.
This recent announcement of new SOSIG training materials may be of
interest -
