Abstract

dc:description

There were 2 goals of this study: (1) the definition of "development literature" and (2) the identification of criteria for establishing a data base of development literature. An analysis of 4 development data bases: DEVSIS (Ottawa), DEVSIS-Africa (Addis Ababa), UN-DIS (New York), and US-DIS (Washington) was realized to determine subject content arranged by Macrothesaurus facet and descriptor, geographic spread, languages of the documents indexed, and institutions as sources for development literature.
