Guide to official information of the European Union, 3rd ed.:
A new edition of this highly-regarded guide to the publications and documentation published by the Institutions and agencies of the European Union has recently been issued. The guide focuses on the most commonly available and useful publications, on-line sources and CD-ROMs. This edition also offers information on Internet sources.

The guide starts with an overview of EU information policy and European information networks. Succeeding chapters cover the Treaties and the Official Journal, and the key sources from each Institution and the main agencies. Electronic sources such as CELEX, SCAD and SCADPLUS, EUROCAT, APC, OEIL, EUR-Lex, RAPID, ECLAS, EPOQUE, ECHO and various statistical databases are outlined. The final chapter looks at bibliographic digests of EU information from the EU and commercial sources.

The volume is rounded off with four useful annexes describing EU legislative procedures, how EU documents are cited, a quick reference guide and useful addresses and websites.
