If you are going to be doing research in international commercial law, then you may find the updated Globalex guide on the Harmonization of International Commercial Law very useful.
For anyone not familiar with GlobaLex it is an electronic legal publication dedicated to international and foreign law research, published by the Hauser Global Law School Program at NYU School of Law. The editors are committed to the dissemination of high-level international, foreign, and comparative law research tools. The information and articles published by GlobaLex represent both research and teaching resources used by legal academics, practitioners and other specialists around the world who are active either in foreign, international, and comparative law research or those focusing on their own domestic law. The guides and articles published are written by scholars well known in their respective fields and are recommended as a legal resource by universities, library schools, and legal training courses.
While on the topic of international commercial law in particular, there is also an older (2002), but wider-ranging, research guide on LLRX International Trade Law Sources on the Internet. LLRX.com is a free e-journal “dedicated to providing legal, library, IT/IS, marketing and administrative professionals with the most up-to-date information on a wide range of Internet research and technology-related issues, applications, resources and tools.” It was and is the 1996 brainchild of Sabrina I. Pacifici.
Both Globalex and LLRX are invaluable resources for foreign and international law librarians as their webpages host an ever expanding (and reasonably frequently updated) number of guides to legal research, not just in topics of international law, but for individual jurisdictions as well.
