            LADB is a full-text database comprising four weekly publica-
            tions   on  Latin  America:   Chronicle  of  Latin  American
            Economic  Affairs,  Central  America  Update,  SourceMex   -
            Economic  News  &  Analysis  on  Mexico, and NotiSur - South
            American & Caribbean Political Affairs.  Updated four days a
            week,  the  database  contains some of the most current news
            and analysis available on the region.  Much of the  informa-
            tion  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  data-
            base  contains  more than twenty thousand articles-from 1987
            to present-with approximately six  hundred  new  ones  added
            each month.
