The University of California-Berkeley Library's Government and Social Science Information Service (GSSI) has developed two Web sites relating to European Union (EU) information. The first is "European Union Internet Resources" and provides a list of EU servers including those related to Information and R & D Activities, an EU FAQ and other University EU links.
The second site is a GSSI Research Guide on The European Union, a bibliography of over 35 information sources held by GSSI. It includes resources on directories, current information, statistics, indexes, bibliographies, legislation, and subject reports. While there are no hypertext links to most of these resources, the guide is still an excellent starting point for EU information.

Internet-on-a-Disk is a monthly newsletter of public domain and freely available electronic texts.
