NotiCen Recent Issues

LADB produces four on-line news digests, which are distributed by e-mail, or which can be picked up at our website with a password. Each contains articles on topics not readily covered by US media. Recently LADB has begun archiving Latin American publications as well. (See below) Each article is archived in LADB's searchable database. Online access and costs

LADB writers read and interpret source materials (in Spanish, Portuguese and English) to produce original articles, a process of translating, checking sources for accuracy, rewriting, combining and interpreting source information. Numerous Latin American and international\ news and scholarly sources are used by LADB's professional journalists to produce origin\ al articles and analysis for LADB. LADB also prints articles produced by speci\ al arrangement by reporters in Latin America.

CubaSource - Political and Economic Affairs of Cuba This monthly bulletin was launched in May 2000 on a trial basis, in addition to the Cuba content in NotiCen, to offer more information about Cuba's politics, economic changes, human rights, and international relations. It was published for one year and is available in the LADB archives. For current Cuba content, please read NotiCen.

Chronicle of Latin American Economic Affairs was published from October 1986 until June 1996, when LADB launched EcoCentral and then NotiCen. Back issues are available in the Latin America Data Base. This publication monitored economic issues and events in Latin American and Caribbean nations, focusing on regional economic integration and trade. The Chronicle specialized in news and analysis on the formation of multilateral trade blocs and bilateral trade agreements, and included reports on macro-economic performance, foreign and domestic debt, inflation, foreign investment, policy initiatives and results, privatization, monetary policy, social consequences of government economic strategies and other topics.

Central American Update was published from October 1986 to April 1993 covering Central America political issues. After April 1993, this coverage was subsumed into NotiCen.

Publication content comes from six main categories:

Latin American Economic Journals & Publications

Argentina - Chile - Colombia - Costa Rica - Ecuador - El Salvador - Guatemala - Mexico - Nicaragua - Panama - Peru - Venezuela

LADB also has begun collecting economic journals and publications from Latin American sources beginning in 1995/96. The following is a list of publications collected to date that will begin to be available in full text on LADB's searchable archive in May 1997. Please see the description of LADB's Economic data base project funded by the Andrew Mellon Foundation which allows LADB to collect these Latin American publications.
