Social Science Research Network --The Secret Is Out

Greetings, one of our favorite resources is getting attention from the New York Times. The Social Science Research Network, which GGUers can access from the GGU University Library database pages, provides working papers and other research reports. See the New York Times article at
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/09/business/media/09link.html

The article indicates that the Social Science Research Network now offers "nearly 150,000 full-text documents for downloading." Most of the documents are in the fields of economics and law.

As with any resource available on the Internet, it is important to evaluate sources carefully. We have found SSRN to be quite helpful, and you may find the same. Why not explore it for topics you are researching? http://www.ssrn.com
