The Privacy Law Sourcebook is the first one-volume resource for students, attorneys, researchers and journalists who need a comprehensive collection of US and International privacy law, as well as a fully up-to-date section on recent developments. Includes the full texts of most major privacy laws and directives.

The Privacy Law Sourcebook is updated and expanded for 1999 to include the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, materials on the "Safe Harbor" proposal, and new legislation introduced to comply with the EU Data Directive. Also included is an extensive new section on privacy resources with useful web sites and contact information for privacy agencies, organizations, and publications.
