Documentation and Data Centre
The Documentation
and Data Centre (DDC) is the information core of the Institute. It
is a specialised information centre whose main objective is to provide
documentation and data facilities for researchers and practitioners in
development-oriented Activities and to improve the capabilities for solving
Caribbean development problems.
The DDC
was established as a support service for research and teaching. As the
emphasis at ISER shifted over the years from basic applied research, and
more recently, to policy studies, there has been a corresponding shift
in demand from secondary to primary data.
Bibiliographic
databases maintained by the DDC include the stock of the:
-
ISER and the
Consortium Graduate School
-
Mona Institute of
Business
-
Human Resource Development
Programme and the
-
Social Work
Programme.
At present, four
WinTerms and one PC are used for public access to the online catalogues
with the PC being a dedicated Internet and WorldWideWeb access machine.
