The FSS Documentation Center, which is as old as FSS itself, has evolved as arguably one of the most successful such ventures of any independent institution in Ethiopia. Its frequent users include graduate students and external researchers from both inside and outside the country. Its strategically acquired collection now number about 7800 records, including books, journals and grey literature.
