THE CECs INAUGURATES A NEW GLACIOLOGY LIBRARY

The IGS Library of the Southern Hemisphere is available since February 2017, it’s located on the second floor of the new building of the Glaciology Laboratory of the Center for Scientific Studies, CECs.

In 2016, the Secretary General of the International Glaciological Society was looking for a new home for the IGS book collection, a valuable group of texts for scholars, students and the general public interested in glaciology, who now have access for teaching purposes or research.

The collection, which comprises almost 500 volumes published between the end of the 19th century and the present, covers a wide variety of interesting glaciological investigations carried out around the world, most of which do not have digital versions and are therefore unique publications of high historical value. Most are in English, French or German, along with several texts in Russian and Polish.
