Research question for my librarian friends.

[randomness]

(I've asked about a similar item before, but now I've made some progress in my research.)

I'm looking for this item:

(From the WorldCat entry:)

World currency monitor
by Bank of America. World Information Services.; Meckler Corporation.
Type: Computer File
Language: English
Publisher: Westport, CT : Meckler, [1990-
ISSN: 1052-2646
OCLC: 22232022
* Material Type: Document, Periodical
* Document Type: Computer File, Serial Publication
* Notes: Disk characteristics: CD-ROM. Title from disk label.
* Description: CD-ROM ; 4 3/4 in.
* Other Titles: World currency monitor


(I have also found that one of the issues of this item has the following ISBN: 0887365450)

WorldCat claims it's at Baruch College, and only at Baruch College.

When I look on the page WorldCat forwards me to in the Newman Library catalog at Baruch College (CUNY), I get:

"Your search did not find any matching documents."

I can't even buy the thing. The dead trees version is available, but not the CD-ROM. Believe me, the CD-ROM is a much, much more useful format.

If anyone can help me find a working copy of the CD-ROM whose contents I can copy, I'll buy them dinner.

Thanks in advance!

P. S. tyellas, I owe you an answer to your question on this, but I can't find the original post to which you commented.

Thanks for the pointer!

Alas, xe.com (and a number of others) don't go back far enough. (Their earliest available data goes to November 16, 1995.)

I've been downloading data from oanda.com, which generates CSV files, convenient for import into a spreadsheet. But their data also mostly starts in the '90s.

(CAD, DEM, FRF, GBP, JPY are the only currencies for which they have data before 1990.)

I've been digging around and failing to find daily data that goes back as far as the '80s, which is why that CD-ROM would be so useful, since the data on it starts in 1979.
