The guide is not meant to be comprehensive; rather, it is representative of the most useful sources currently available in print and on the World Wide Web. There are nine chapters, each following the same format, with print guides listed first, followed by sources on the Web. All lists are in alphabetical order by author or organization or Web site name. Within each section, the major sources are listed first and are annotated. These are followed by additional non-annotated sources. The World Wide Web sources are listed by site names and URLs. As with the print sources, major Web sites are annotated, followed by additional Web sites without annotation. We hope that by presenting the print guides and Web sources together in a single document that users of this guide will be able to see the larger picture of what is available and what is still lacking. This Guide is not intended as a comprehensive, all inclusive listing of resources in the field of international and area studies. There may well be more important guides or Web sites that we have missed. We therefore welcome any comments or suggestions from our readers regarding the changes or additions which would make this guide more useful.

Columbia Gazetteer of the World There are three primary search options: Place-Name search duplicates how entries are found in the printed edition. You can look up an entry alphabetically by the name of the place. Word Search is an important tool for searching the text of all Gazetteer entries for any word, combination of words, or exact phrases. Once a search is completed, you can view or print a list of the entries where the search word/phrase is found, or view or print the entries themselves, as well as navigate through the list of matching articles, entry by entry. The Type of Place Search allows you to choose in one search between three different types of place (city, lake, mountain, river, etc.), four separate criteria (such as population, elevation, etc.) associated with those types of place, continent/sub-continent, and country. This search allows you to find and see a list of, for example, all the Gazetteer entries for rivers in Southeast Asia longer than 50 miles, or villages in Kenya with a population greater than 1,000 people, or railroad stations in Russia. The resulting list is printable, as is each entry.
