World Bank Collections

In 1994 the CERGE-EI Library was designated by the World Bank as an official depository for World Bank Publications.

Depository Library Program was purchased through the USAID Program during 2008 - 2011.

The World Bank publications (2508 monographs and working papers) are searchable in the CERGE-EI Library Catalog OLIB.

The World Bank eLibrary is the World Bank’s subscription-based collection of nearly 6,000 books, reports, journals, and working papers in electronic form.

Documents & Reports contain more than 130,000 publically available World Bank documents that enable sharing the institution's extensive knowledge base and implementing its access to information policy.

The World Bank Data and Research include high quality national and international statistics, and global statistical programs, cross-country, cross-sector, thematic research outputs from the World Bank's main research unit, information, analysis, and advice on global trends in the world economy.
