Links allow the user to search from country in one resource file to research institute in a second file to a congress author in a third. The Union's new, updated electronic resource guide will make information about psychological science and its worldwide context more readily available and will be especially helpful to those seeking international collaborations or wishing to trace the development of psychology in a country or region.
