ORI Library

The Okavango Research Institute Library (ORI)  is a resource for the  ORI community (students and staff) and other stakeholders who are involved in the studying and planning of the Okavango Delta and other related wetlands.  The core of the library holdings include information sources that are covers the 5 major research programmes of the institute which are: ecosystem dynamics, Ecosystem services, water resources management, sustainable tourism and climate change, as well as other related information which supplement the core areas.

 

The Library provides access to over +20 000 scholarly full text electronic journals, online and Networked databases, E-books and print books.  The library recently hosted training on accessing information from ProQuest Database to ORI researchers and students.  

The library has four special collections which are:

• Peter Alexander Smith collection
• Dr Hans Joachim Heinz collection
• Dr Richard Bell collection
• The Hunting Records Collection

 In the next uploads, I am going to give you a preview of the different collections and the types of information sources that be found in them.
