Extract

Many libraries in the United Kingdom collect publications which have a bearing on Third World studies. In preparing a relatively short paper on resources for Third World studies it has been necessary to be highly selective in order to give prominence to those collections which are concerned primarily with modern studies, ie recent history and political and economic development of countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America; collections which are intended for in-depth study and research which serve a clientele involved in some way in the affairs of those countries. Such collections are mostly located in government or other official organisations, in universities or other research bodies. In the interest of brevity commercial and industrial libraries are not included, nor are the national and para-national libraries: the British Library, the other copyright libraries, the British Library of Political and Economic Science at the London School of Economics.
