Research Links



There are numerous resources on the web which will aid you in your search for information related to the simulation.  
One of the most useful things to use for research is Bulletin Quotidien Europe, which is in the library.  Bulletin Quotidien is a daily report from the EU that reports on the daily workings of the institutions and member states.  Very useful.  
It's in big black binders behind the circ. desk.  You have to ask for it, its call number is D1050 .E97, and most of the student workers at the library will have no idea what you're talking about when you ask for it, so either tell them to ask a librarian, or walk them through it with baby steps (description helps- black binders with pink paper).
