The ECREA Library & Resource Centre aims to facilitate the research needs of ECREA and provide a comprehensive library & information service to staff and clients.   Our main objectives are to develop an effective, efficient and accessible information service to serve the needs of ECREA and the wider community.

Our collection is small but growing.  We collect material on Fiji and the Pacific, with an emphasis on social justice & development issues, peace building, reconciliation, ecumenism, and more.  Our press clippings contain articles from Fiji newspapers on local, regional and international issues.

ABOUT THE COLLECTION
Our library & resource centre houses an important information resource for the organisation and for visiting students and researchers. The collection is unique and, given the limited access to information in the region, vital. 

Our collection includes the following types of material:

Texts/Monographs, Annual Reports, Conference Papers, Journals, CD-ROMS, Videos, General Papers (newspaper clippings, articles, unpublished papers etc), Electronic material, Fiji Legislation, Fiji Parliamentary Hansard, Brochures – Fiji & International and maps

COLLECTION ACCESS
