Fourth Congress of the Association of African Historians

FSS Library - Ethiopian Resource Center on Development Studies

One of the mandates of FSS is to set up a research library to collect and preserve government documents, publications from the NGO and donor community, and fugitive literature useful for development and policy research.

The FSS library collection contains more than 6000 records. These collections includes books, journals, CD-ROMs, serials and newspapers and are mainly on social issues such as, sociology, economics, land tenure, food security, poverty, gender etc.  All the collections are catalogued electronically using FileMaker Pro.

The FSS library is developing its collection by local and foreign purchase, gift and exchange with different libraries locally and abroad. The FSS library users will be informed about the new acquisitions using FSS monthly update.

The FSS library is free and open to researchers from government departments, NGOs, civic groups, donor agencies and academic institutions. We, at FSS, believe such a library is an important asset to many agencies which at present are constrained by lack of access to important documents and data sources.  

The FSS Library has a capacity of giving service for 35 users at a time.
