CODESRIA Documentation and Information
Centre (CODICE) |
Established
in 1983, the CODESRIA Documentation and
Information Centre (CODICE), collects, processes and
disseminates information pertaining to the social sciences. It
provides documentary support and information to CODESRIA
research programmes, African researchers, African universities,
research and training institutes as well as to African
governments and their agencies. CODICE exchanges publications
with several local, regional and international organisations,
across Africa, Asia,
Europe, and North and South America. CODICE also co-operates
with a number of social science information services. As part of
this co-operation, CODICE is a member of numerous networks.
CODICE maintains a rich documentary collection of social science
information and research findings. These comprise books and
periodicals as well as numerous reference works, reports,
conference papers, press dossiers,
theses and dissertations. CODICE
manages and updates the following databases:
the Bibliographic
database; the
Database of CODESRIA Publications, the
Database of African Social Scientists
and
the Database
of Periodicals.
CODICE caters for CODESRIA Working Groups, laureates of Small
Grants for Theses Writing and those of the CODESRIA Institutes
on Governance, Gender, Health,
Child and Youth Studies, and researchers involved in diverse
CODESRIA research programmes. CODICE is also at the service of
CODESRIA personnel, students and lecturers of African
universities, training and research institutes, and visiting
researchers from institutions within or outside Africa. |
