The free trial will be available through May 25, 2008.

The "Global Road Warrior," "Best Country Reports," and "AtoZ" Series e-content products provide, according to many client librarians, the world’s most comprehensive country data related to:
  • Society and Culture (about 10 x the content of CultureGrams)
  • Communications (the world’s most comprehensive)
  • Media (details on thousands of media outlets worldwide)
  • Travel (with more of a business perspective, but equally usable for personal travel)
  • Trade (our forte)
  • Business
  • Money and Banking (scans of all banknotes and coinage in worldwide circulation)
  • Country Maps (9 proprietary downloadable maps per country) and more than 20 other topics.


  • Our experience is that students and library clients find our content to be extremely helpful in their research. Many institutions find that our content takes the place of as many as five reference books and six subscriber databases; saving a substantial amount of money.
