An Introduction
UNU-MERIT maintains a specialised library which provides research and learning support to the staff and students of the institute. The collection is also open to users from affiliated institutes and universities, as well as the wider UNU research community.

The library was named after the founding Director of UNU-INTECH, the UNU institute which merged with MERIT to become the present UNU-MERIT, Charles M. Cooper.

The collection focuses primarily on the socio-economic aspects of technological change and innovation with a special interest in developing countries. It consists of a growing collection of more then 3000 e-Journals, several e-Libraries and a number of other essential electronic resources as well as a monograph collection of 7000 titles and 50 journal titles in print.

The monographs, reference books and current journal volumes are to be found on the ground floor of the library building. The journal archive, serials and "grey" literature are located on the first floor.
