            LADB is a full-text database comprising  three  publications
            on  Latin  America:  _C_h_r_o_n_i_c_l_e  _o_f  _L_a_t_i_n  _A_m_e_r_i_c_a_n _E_c_o_n_o_m_i_c
            _A_f_f_a_i_r_s, _C_e_n_t_r_a_l _A_m_e_r_i_c_a _U_p_d_a_t_e, and _S_O_U_R_C_E_M_E_X-_E_c_o_n_o_m_i_c _N_e_w_s
            &  _A_n_a_n_l_y_s_i_s  _o_n _M_e_x_i_c_o. Updated four days a week, the data-
            base contains some of the most  current  economic  news  and
            analysis  available  on the region.  Much of the information
            is assembled from unfiltered news sources  originating  from
            Latin  America,  providing  an  ability for organizations to
            understand and monitor the environments in which  they  have
            business  and  research  interests.  Currently, the database
            contains more than eleven  thousand  articles-from  1987  to
            present-with  approximately four hundred new ones added each
            month.
