ICIPE LIBRARY CATALOGUE ONLINE

The online version of ICIPE's library catalogue includes books,
monographs, reprints of publications by ICIPE personnel, and selected
individual articles.

Coverage focuses on entomology, including agriculture, parasitology,
public health, ecology, biodiversity, and conservation, especially
related to tropical Africa.  The present online catalogue includes over
4500 items entered between 1990 and November 1998; older records will be
added in the future. This includes citations issued in the "Pest
Management Documentation Systems and Service (PMDISS)" and "ICIPE
Bulletin of Library Information and Documentation Services."
