	Welcome to InSITE, a current awareness service of Cornell Law Library. InSITE highlights selected law-related Web sites in two ways: as an annotated publication issued electronically and in print; and as a keyword-searchable database. The law librarians at Cornell evaluate potentially useful Web sites, select the most valuable ones, and provide commentary and subject access to them.

      <title><![CDATA[Center for Regulatory Effectiveness]]></title>
      <link><![CDATA[http://www.thecre.com/]]></link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Center for Regulatory Effectiveness (CRE) was established in 1996 with two stated goals. The first is to ensure the public has access to data and information used to develop federal regulations; the second is to ensure the information disseminated from the federal agencies to the public is of the highest quality. To this end, the CRE website contains a wealth of information on the federal regulatory process as well as issue papers researched by the CRE staff putting forth the Center's position on relevant topics and emerging regulatory issues. The column running down the left side of the website contains the site's &#34;Issue Sections&#34; and the &#34;Services&#34; provided by CRE. The first link in the Issue section provides access to REGweek, a CRE online publication that provides information on what the organization deems to be the most important regulatory action of the week.  Here the user will also find an archive of this publication from 2000-2013. Also in the Issue section, the user will find a wealth of CRE work product on the issues they deem central to its mission. The first two links, Data Access and Data Quality, provide the researcher with information on CRE's work in promoting the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of federal government information. The next three links address the three ways in which regulations can be created outside of the traditional regulatory process. The “Regulation by Litigation” link takes the user to the information gathered and put together by CRE regarding the new trend whereby private interest groups use the judicial system to achieve regulatory results.  The “Regulation by Information” link provides the researcher with information CRE has gathered that addresses the use of the Internet as a powerful new regulatory tool. Finally, the “Regulation by Appropriation” section examines the use of financial incentives to accomplish policy objectives that could not be achieved through the traditional regulatory process. The &#34;Services&#34; section provides a list of services CRE provides to its users, all of which provide several opportunities for the public to provide comments and feedback on current regulatory actions. This includes Regulatory Advocacy, Voluntary Standards Program, the CRE Report Card, Public Docket Preparation, Interactive Public Docket, Electronic Regulatory Forum and Consumer Response Service. Finally, the CRE established the Electronic Regulatory Forum as a means of keeping the public informed of important proposed regulations, while at the same time providing the public with a means of commenting on the proposed regulations. This is an excellent resource for lawyers working in any regulated field as well as faculty, scholars and students researching in a regulated field.<br/>

      <title><![CDATA[Cold War International History Project]]></title>
      <link><![CDATA[http://www.wilsoncenter.org/program/cold-war-international-history-project]]></link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars offers this website devoted to its Cold War History Project, begun in 1991. Its purpose is to share political, historical and diplomatic research and documentation on this period. The Cold War History Project page is contained in the Center’s website so that the links at the top of the site lead to other pages of the Center’s activities.  The navigation of the Cold War Project is performed through the left hand column of labels.  The site contains original official documents, research on the Cold War, a calendar of events that the Center sponsors or co-sponsors on this topic,  and a list of affiliated scholars.  The documents are in various formats and languages with some being translated into English.  The source of each document is given and the nature of the documents range from declassified CIA reports, cables from other governments on meetings between representatives, and researcher notebooks containing summaries and scans of Soviet documents from its archives.  The archives can be browsed either through geographic region or through subject  (e.g., Cuban missile crisis, Korean war, post-Stalin succession struggle).  For those researching this time period, there are many resources, although of a general governmental or diplomatic focus, not legal, and would serve well for those seeking background material for legal historical works. While the focus of the site is on the Cold War, some material is devoted to more recent history whose roots are in the Cold War (e.g., the North Korean efforts on missile development). The site is well-maintained, text-intensive, and only in English except for certain original documents in its archives.  <br/>

      <title><![CDATA[Workplace Bullying Institute]]></title>
      <link><![CDATA[http://www.workplacebullying.org/front-page/]]></link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Workplace Bullying Institute (WBI) claims to be the only U.S. organization striving to eradicate workplace bullying; its motto is “To understand, correct & prevent all abuse at work.”  The website provides a wide variety of resources about the subject of workplace bullying for employees and employers as well as for mental health professionals. These include information on how to recognize bullying, the physical and mental effects of bullying, and methods of dealing with workplace bullies. Workplace training is available.  The  Institute also runs a grassroots campaign to enact The Healthy Workplace Bill,  legislation that would help victims of workplace bullying. The Institute is run by Drs. Gary and Ruth Namie, psychologists who have made careers of studying and writing about workplace bullying.  It is physically located in Bellingham, WA.  The website offers an RSS feed, email newsletter, and links to the WBI sites on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. <br/>
