Archives & Libraries

With more than 100,000 libraries throughout North America, these institutions continue to thrive despite the increasing convergence of computer and communications technologies. U.S. libraries have expanded even while facing severe funding cutbacks. Still, libraries of all sizes are able to provide cultural, factual, educational and recreational information on virtually any topic through resources such as books, journals, microforms and other multimedia applications. They can also be categorized according to specialty. For example, public libraries service the general public, while school libraries support student research and classroom instruction. Other types include corporate, legal, media, medical and religious libraries. The links included herein relate to economics archives and libraries.
