Search4Dev: online library for digital publications of Dutch international cooperation NGOs

Search4Dev is the online library for digital publications of Dutch organizations in the international development cooperation sector.

Search4Dev offers quick and easy access to these publications. In addition to bibliographic details, you will always find a link to the full text version of a publication.

Search4Dev is an initiative of the Development Policy Review Network (DPRN), a network of development experts and policy makers who aim to reduce the gap between science, policy and development practice. Search4Dev is being realised by KIT Information & Library Services in collaboration with the Digital Production Centre of the University of Amsterdam. The initiative is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Via the Internet Search4Dev is accessible to end users worldwide. By using international standards and protocols, the bibliographic details from Search4Dev are also available to search engines and information services. This will increase the visibility and findability of the publications of Dutch development organizations. An example of an information service is Global-Connections. This information service retrieves information from Search4Dev and various institutional repositories of Dutch universities. This creates a complete overview of the digital publications on Dutch development cooperation issues. Another well known example is the international information service OAIster. This information service collects bibliographic details of a large number of international online libraries and institutional repositories.
