RECOFTC Library Upgrade

In an effort to make its resources more widely available to the general public, RECOFTC has relocated its expanded library and documentation center to the ground floor of its offices on the Kasetsart University campus.

“It was good to move from the second floor,” Thippawan Maidee, documentation center administrator, said.  “Many more people know it’s here now and more users come.”

Library patrons can now search its 7,500 books and 1,000 scholarly articles via an online database that was completed just last month. Materials available are mostly in English, though there is a growing body of Thai publications. Topics cover rural development, natural resource management, and community forestry.

Ms Maidee is currently working to upload all RECOFTC publications to the database so that they are available for download from the internet. The next step will be to explore the possibility of hosting other organizations’ downloadable publications in the online database.
