We are delighted to have begun exchanging our catalogue records with those of the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research Library in Mumbai. The data supplied to us contains abstracts of articles from journals we receive, and we supply article records which include subject descriptors to IGIDR. The abstracts are fully searchable in our catalogue; look up Enslaving spaces as an example. Initially, each institution is supplying the other with records from eight journals, including runs going back several years, although we plan to increase this number. The project will enrich the information available via each library’s catalogue, and is an example of our policy of building partnerships with Southern institutions. For more information, please contact Ian Budden.
You can receive details of new publications from BLDS by subscribing for free to the BLDS Updates on HIV/AIDS, and Health and also search over 2000 publications on HIV and AIDS in the BLDS Subject Guides.
The UK’s new White Paper on International Development, Building our Common Future (PDF - 4 MB), argues that rather than turn away when things get tough we need to redouble our efforts. Development is not only morally right, but it is in our shared interest.
