European union social information research facility

Objetivo

The EUSSIRF (Florence) facility provides access to the collections, services and research instruments of the Library of the European University Institute whose academic population of PhD researchers, professors, fellows and visitors (some 600 in all), from EU member states and elsewhere, conduct research, at the highest academic level, in law, economics, history and political and social science with particular reference to Europe. The Library supports the research information needs of this multilingual user population and is very strong in its coverage of the social sciences. Collections now total over 500,000 volumes in both paper and microform, 3,500 periodical subscriptions and a large collection of working papers. Researchers have access to other information retrieval services through locally-networked CD ROMs and remote on-line databases. It has major collections in governmental and intergovernmental publications and a first-class European Documentation Centre. EUSSIRF visitors, generally staying one month, benefit from financial assistance (1,800 Euro approx.), help with accommodation, expert assistance in exploiting the facilities resources, training in new research technologies, affiliation to the Robert Schuman Centre (for access to the academic life of the EUI).

Application:
Main Results: EUSSIRF Florence had contracted to deliver 1,584 days of access during the period of its funding, a figure based on 72 visitors spending an average of one month (giving 22 access days per visitor).
