"While not specifically focusing on Africa, this directory from the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) is a useful resource as it provides detailed information on almost 400 agencies, organizations, institutions, learned societies, professional associations, donors, and foundations involved in activities that support the production, access and/or dissemination of information and knowledge in or between developing countries. It covers both subject-specific organizations in particular areas of the sciences, the humanities and social sciences, as well as organizations that specialize in library and book development, and for both groups this includes details of book and journal assistance schemes operated, or other type of support provided. Information is very full, and for most entries includes name and address, telephone/fax numbers, email address and Web site, contact personnel, aims and objectives and/or a mission statement, target audience, countries of operation, current activities, publications (if applicable), and future plans. No further print editions have been published following the 2002/2003 edition, but entries are now continuously updated in the online version. The electronic version can be browsed by the sector each organization works in, and each database entry offers organizational and contact details, profile details, and information about activities. Organizations can also be viewed by country, or searches can be conducted covering the entire database." (Hans M. Zell, Publishing, Books & Reading in Sub-Saharan Africa, 3d ed. 2008, nr. 1392)
