Republican Scientific Agricultural Library becomes a depositary library of FAO

FAO Depository Libraries

The Constitution of FAO states that "the Organization shall collect, analyse, interpret and disseminate information relating to nutrition, food and agriculture". As part of this mandate, a system of FAO depository libraries is maintained, in order to make the publications of FAO freely available to the general public.
The libraries listed in this directory are normally national libraries, or major research libraries or educational institutions with programs related to the goals and objectives of FAO, open to the public free of charge. Each member country is entitled to at least one depository library.
Each entry in this list contains the following information:
· the name and address of the library
· the beginning year of deposit
· the language of material deposited
The designation of depository libraries and the distribution of material to them is the responsibility of the Information Division of FAO. Correspondence concerning changes of name and addresses, requests and suggestions should be addressed to the Chief, Sales and Marketing Group, Information Division, FAO, Viale delle Terme di Caracalla, 00100 Rome, Italy, fax (+39 6) 5705 3360,
