	The AIM-WB Knowledge for Development Center (KDC)
	The AIM-WB KDC is a depository library that provides the public access to development-related publications of the World Bank and other institutions and organizations. Initially the World Bank had provided 2,000 titles of print and non-print publications (CDs, videotapes). Some 300 to 400 new titles are expected to be added each year. The KDC also provides computer terminals for access to online documents and reports of the World Bank. The Global JOLIS cataloging system allows users to view the collection and to access selected documents of over 60 World Bank Public Information Centers around the world. The AIM-WB KDC is also a point of sale for development publications from the World Bank and other development institutions. The KDC at AIM is part of the AIM-WB Development Resource Center (DRC). This unique partnership links the Bank's information and technology network and AIM's capability to develop programs and provide business, development, entrepreneurship, and education.
