Understanding Subprime Mortgage Lending

Don't miss the inaugral issue of the Liber8 newsletter issued by the Research Library of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. This newsletter is designed for librarians to provide a quick overview of a current economic issue with pointers to authoritative sources. I'm currently on the Board for Liber8 so I can tell you how hard they are working to make this current -- we saw two different possibilities for the inaugral newsletter a couple of months ago and neither were on Subprime Mortgage Lending because that story hadn't broken into the news yet.

Here's the official press release for the newsletter with links to the pretty pdf issue. Don't forget to add the announcement feed to your RSS reader or sign up for the email version.

Announcing Liber8 Economic Newsletter: "Subprime" issue released
today

The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis is pleased to announce the Liber8
Economic Newsletter, written for librarians, on the latest economic topics.

"Subprime," the inaugural issue, was released today and is available at http://liber8.stlouisfed.org/newsletter/2007/200709.pdf.
This issue discusses the current problems in the subprime mortgage market,
provides links to articles with more detail, and lists the major sources of data
for researchers interested in housing and mortgages. RSS and email
subscriptions are available for the newsletter (http://liber8.stlouisfed.org/newsletter).

The two-page newsletter will be published 9 times per year, January through
May and August through November, to coincide with the academic calendar.

More on Liber8: The Liber8 Economic Information portal
(http://liber8.stlouisfed.org) provides a single point of access
to the economic information that the Federal Reserve System, government
agencies, and data providers have to offer. Liber8 also offers the International Economic Statistics (IES) database (http://liber8.stlouisfed.org/iesd) with links to individual
economic indicators for countries worldwide.

We hope this timely information will be of use to you and your users.
