It is issued once every month. The ECA Library provides user assistance and conducts literature searches on demand for the staff of the Secretariat, UN specialized agencies, diplomatic missions, government officials, participants and delegates to ECA conferences, workshops and symposia, graduate students, and other external accredited users. Interested users may complete appropriate Literature Search Forms to request literature searches. The Library distributes a monthly Table of Contents pages of newly received periodicals and journals in the Library dealing with economic and social development related topics for internal circulation to the staff. The Library's current awareness services and literature searches result in requests for documents which are met by providing photocopies of the available documents to both internal and external clients.
External clients pay a small fee to cover the supplies for photocopying.
