North American Transportation Statistics
'The need for North American transportation statistics reflects the increase in global economic growth and greater integration of trade, finance and manufacturing in recent decades.

'Statistics On-Line Database presents information on transportation and transportation-related activities among Canada, the United States and Mexico, both within individual countries and between the countries. This database, presented in French, English, and Spanish is, accessible in table and time series formats, and covers twelve thematic areas, including transportation and the economy, transportation safety, transportation’s impact on energy and the environment, passenger and freight activity, and transportation and trade.' (Thanks to Johanna)

Exam Bank
Sometimes it pays to read the Daily News. 'The University of Windsor Students' Alliance maintains an online bank of examinations donated by students.' See Exam Bank under Services.
'At its meeting Wednesday, April 12, the university's Senate approved a policy requiring instructors to submit past final examinations to a central depository in the Leddy Library for use as a study aid.'

The Complete Review could be a useful site for finding book reviews, including reviews of titles not yet translated to English. Search by author, title, nationality, or genre. While the editors seem to be anonymous, each entry also includes excerpts of reviews from major publications which could be tracked down in our literature databases. Thanks to Monica for suggesting this.
