ADPC Library Database Goes On-Line

The ADPC Library database is on-line and searchable from the ADPC website at: http://www.adpc.ait.ac.th/infores/ir.html.

The ADPC Library has a collection of material on disaster management, collected over the past 14 years, including books, reports, case studies, research papers, periodicals, videos and other audio-visual material. This is supplemented by a unique collection of gray and unpublished literature from ADPC's own programs and projects, and from several years of regional and international networking. The fully-annotated database is managed using CDS/ISIS and is searchable through the wwwisis search engine. Presently, only the books and monographs database can be searched on-line. However, it is our intention to make the other databases searchable through our website. Requests for physical access to the documents may be sent to the information department at our center. We invite you to visit the above-mentioned website and to send us your comments and suggestions to further improve access to information available from the ADPC Library.
