About us
The library stock includes about 10.000 volumes covering mostly the fields of social sciences. During the last extension, natural science books were also added to the stock. Dictionaries, and encyclopaedias enrich the library’s offerings while those looking for a light reading can choose from literary works as well.
The Institute undertakes publishing activities, iASK volumes and items of the KRAFT series are available in our library.
The systematization of books is carried out through the Eurovoc multilingual thesaurus, that is covering the field in which the European Communities are active; it provides a means of indexing the documents in the documentation systems of the European Institutions and of their users.
In addition to books, the collection also includes printed and electronic periodicals as well as subscribed databases thus widening the spectrum of services offered by the library.
