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 following URL: http://coastfish.spc.int/en/publications/digital-library.html
