- Virtual Library on Microcredit
- http://www.soc.titech.ac.jp/icm/
- This is a some-what complicated homepage for this conglomeration of finance and credit information. Everything is clearly labeled and easy to link to, but not very well described. Although it provides a wealth of information about interesting topics, including increasing women's access to credit and similar topics geared toward minority populations, it is difficult to distinguish what information may be useful or not without in-depth reading. Available in English, French, Spanish, or Japanese.
