Project Finance Portal
http://www.hbs.edu/projfinportal/
The
Baker Library at the Harvard Business School (HBS) has created
this all-encompassing portal intended to serve as a reference
guide for project finance students, faculty, and researchers.
The resources on the site are divided into two main sections.
The Research and Publications list is directed at the academic
community and includes bibliographies of articles, books and
book chapters, and trade magazines, as well as syllabi from
business and law school courses from the top schools around the
world, case studies, and rating agency information. The other
section, Project Finance Links, functions as a standard portal,
with over 800 annotated links to related Websites. All
references to books, case studies, and articles are linked to
the Harvard Business School online catalog for easier access by
the HBS community. For librarians and Webmasters, the Project
Finance Portal will serve as a stellar model of a portal for a
library community.
