Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis announces economic newsletter written for librarians on the latest economic topics

I recently received this announcement and found the resources to be extensive.

The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis is pleased to announce the Liber8 Economic Newsletter, written for librarians, on the latest economic topics.

"Subprime," the inaugural issue, was released today and is available at http://liber8.stlouisfed.org/newsletter/2007/200709.pdf. This issue discusses the current problems in the subprime mortgage market, provides links to articles with more detail, and lists the major sources of data for researchers interested in housing and mortgages. RSS and email subscriptions are available for the newsletter (http://liber8.stlouisfed.org/newsletter).

The two-page newsletter will be published 9 times per year, January through May and August through November, to coincide with the academic calendar.

More on Liber8:
The Liber8 Economic Information portal (http://liber8.stlouisfed.org) provides a single point of access to the economic information that the Federal Reserve System, government agencies, and data providers have to offer.

Liber8 also offers the International Economic Statistics (IES) database (http://liber8.stlouisfed.org/iesd) with links to individual economic indicators for countries worldwide.
