Hi ... I have temporarily placed on my Web space a bibliography related to banking and economics (mostly banking and investing). The URL is home.inreach.com/kumbach/BankBiblio.htm . It is the bibliography from a draft paper related to public investment (a paper that might or might not ever appear). I thought the bibliography, which includes many Web links, might be of some use for high school classes in economics or business, maybe even government, and perhaps a useful reference for librarians who might have to field questions on such matters or find reliable sources. (It might be even more useful for some college classes.) Feel free to download the list for your own use, if you believe it to be of value. Unfortunately, many of the most valuable sites are far from self-explanatory (FDIC, Comptroller of the Currency, and much that is at the Federal Reserve's site, for example), but they reward exploration for those interested in the subject matter. As a general comment, these sorts of resources further illustrate just how embedded the Internet (esp. its Worldwide Web face) is becoming in the dissemination of serious, valuable, and current data. A few years ago these data resources were difficult to obtain at best, if one could even learn about them. Some have been made possible, or at least far more robust, *by* the Internet, the Web, and related programming and data management techniques. I would be interested in comments on this bibliography, especially whether this sort of thing is of value to school librarians. (I think I can assume that it would be far more valuable with a lot of annotations and explanations, but that would be a project in itself.)
