Editor notes: 

The first article in this issue is from the IASSIST conference in Edinburgh in May 2005. Bobray Bordelon is the Pliny Fisk Librarian of Economics and Finance/Data Services Librarian at Princeton University and presented at the conference his paper: “Cross-national & intergovernmental data: paying for one-stop shopping”. The point of departure for the article is that since most organizations lack the resources to build its own interface and provide the ongoing maintenance it is relevant to explore the choices for a commercial aggregator. Bobray Bordelon examines and characterizes four “aggregators”: Datastream International, EIU World Data, Global Financial Database, and Global Insight.
