  IR Metasites

Metasite is a term used to describe web bibliographies, directories, and lists of sites with URLs given for further research. They typically provide no primary source content, but serve as gateways to information in a wide variety of topics.

The sites below were selected for their comprehensiveness and frequency of updating.

Of special note among metasites is the WWW Virtual Library, a collection of web bibliographies. The guide to International Affairs Resources is highly recommended.
