Editorial
The SPC
Library and the Marine Resources Division have developed a full
text Digital Library which is now available online. This Digital
Library will enable users to gain online access to electronic
versions (in PDF format) of more than 5000 fisheries and
aquaculture-related documents, in French and in English,
produced by, for, or in collaboration with SPC. The Digital
Library is full text searchable. This new tool was developed for
the fisheries administrations of the Pacific Islands countries
and territories to improve their access to comprehensive,
updated, and high quality information.
Franck Magron, in his feature article on page 38 describes the
general process of creating a digital library, whereas the
second part shows how to practically use the fisheries digital
library. To start using the Digital Library, please visit the
