Descripción: |
CLACSO (Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales) is a 30-year
old academic network gathering more than 168 social science research and teaching institutions in 21 countries of Latin America and the Spanish Caribbean. Each of these institutions publishes journals, books, working documents and conference papers, which are not readily available because of high postage costs, reduced number of volumes printed and lack of interlibrary loan. In 1998 CLACSO decided to start promotion and training
activities to encourage members editors to provide Web access to
the electronic version of the print publications and at the same time
CLACSO started a virtual library to provide integrated access to the
distributed collections of e-documents available on member Websites. - Bandwidth management and
