Virtual Information Kiosks (Development Infokiosks)

Some European academic institutions have been partnering with the World Bank for several years to provide facilitated access to development information sources to students and professors in their institutions. By accessing to a Development InfoKiosk established on the internet website of their libraries, users have been able to get familiar with open and free documents and statistics databases in particular.  
The list of institutions which have been partnering with us are accessible here (the page is currently being updated). Please contact us at picparis@worldbank.org, tel: +33 1 40 69 30 26 for more information.
