Departmental Library Services
The Departmental Library is located at Villa La Fonte (2nd floor, VF-035). Due to heavy demand, the 500 books and manuals may only be used in the departmental complex.
Books and manuals must be returned to the Departmental Library at the end of every working day. 30-day loan copies of all titles may be requested for delivery from the Badia Library to Villa La Fonte. The One-Stop Guide to resources for economic research is at this link.
In-Department Research Support
The Information Specialist, Thomas Bourke, is present in office VF-026 (adjacent to the Departmental Secretariat) on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. The telephone extension is 2346. Correspondence should be sent to [email protected]
