This month's site is: Doing business: measuring business regulations Published by the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, this database provides objective measures of business regulations and their enforcement across 181 economies and selected cities at the subnational and regional level. They indicate the regulatory costs of business and can be used to analyse specific regulations that enhance or constrain investment, productivity and growth. The indicators are developed by the Private Sector Vice Presidency of the World Bank Group in cooperation with the Lex Mundi Association of law firms and the International Bar Association. The principal data collection methods for the indicators are the study of the existing laws and regulations in each economy; targeted interviews with regulators, or, private sector professionals in each topic; and cooperative arrangements with other departments of the World Bank, other donor agencies, private consulting firms, business and law associations. Previous Websites of the Month can be found at: http://www.aallnet.org/sis/obssis/localsys/webomonthold.htm As a service to OBS-SIS members, a MARC record of a legal website is distributed on the OBS-SIS discussion list each month. We encourage you to try it out and see if your library might want to include it in your online catalog. Cataloging is provided by the University of Colorado Law Library. The links below each site name will connect you to the University of Colorado's online system. From the record you can view the website itself by following the links, or view the MARC tagging format by selecting the MARC Display button at the top of the screen. Cataloging questions should be addressed to Yumin Jiang. Thanks to Karen Selden and OCLC, we can now keep up on cataloging the AALL OBS-SIS Legal Websites of the Month. Here is a solution to minimize your workload and add those records in an economical and streamlined manner. Libraries can logon to the WorldCat Collection Sets order form to place their order for AALL OBS-SIS Legal Websites of the Month MARC records. There are several processing options available on the order form. If libraries already have some of these records and have set their holdings in WorldCat, OCLC has an option to output only the records that do not already have their institution symbol set in WorldCat. If libraries want to receive new records that are added each month, they should select the standing order option on the order form. Here is the link to the list of sets: Here is the link to the order form: For pricing questions, libraries should contact their OCLC regional service provider. |
