Library

Our library was established in 1992 through the generous support of the Austrian government and the Westinghouse Education Foundation. It is state of the art, containing the most extensive and up-to-date economics collection in Central and Eastern Europe, with about 40,000 monographs, as well as subscriptions to more than 300 periodicals, 600 e-journals and access to several library consortiums.

CERGE-EI economics library

As a result, the library houses a rich collection of contemporary economic literature focused on trans-national economics. As part of CERGE-EI’s outreach mission, it is open to the general public as well as to students, faculty, and researchers from other institutions. The library is equipped with the latest computer technology, offers access to widely used data-bases and statistical materials, and is an official depository library of World Bank and UNCTAD documents. Access to materials not in the library is provided through cooperation with other libraries around the world.

The Computer Department staff oversees CERGE-EI's LAN network based on both UNIX and Windows platforms. Facilities include a UNIX lab with high-speed workstations, and a PC lab containing state-of-the art computers.

Email addresses are created for all students, faculty, and researchers. Special arrangements can be made for those requiring specialized computational support, including supercomputer access.
