INFORMATION SERVICES

ILRI's Information Services caters for ILRI scientists, its partners in national agricultural research systems (NARS) and other external users. For over 25 years the Libraries at ILRI-Kenya and ILRI-Ethiopia have amassed large collections of monographs, periodicals and other documents on animal production and diseases, with disciplines ranging from agricultural economics to molecular  biology. These  information resources are supplemented with documents from ILRI's unique collection of non-conventional literature on animal agriculture from research centres in 27 Sub-Saharan African countries. In addition to these in-house information resources, users are provided with electronic access to external sources of information, through either  CD-ROM or the Internet.  

ILRI's NEW INFORMATION STRATEGY 

In 1998, ILRI instituted a new Information Strategy. Its aim is to use new information and communication technologies to make available the wealth of information accumulated over the years by ILRI and create a hub of information exchange on livestock research and development in tropical developing countries.
