Here's some good news for those interested in development  work: 
students, academics and economists, amongst others. Major 
publications of the World Bank such as its annual indicators, Global 
Development Finance, Annual Report as well as other key reports and 
analytic work in different sectors of relevance to India are now 
available for reference at some of the British Council libraries. As 
part of their worldwide partnership to promote knowledge for 
development, the World Bank and British Council have tied up to 
introduce World Bank "Information Kiosks" in the British Libraries at 
Hyderabad, Bangalore and Ahmedabad [http://www.bclindia.org/ ].  
These kiosks contain, apart from the Bank's flagship publications 
mentioned above, all publicly disclosed documents related to Bank 
projects being implemented in India. Besides, computer terminals have 
been provided to enable visitors to access the Bank's wide array of 
electronic information products country and sector-specific 
information, data and statistics and full text databases on its web 
sites. Through these kiosks, the British Council and the World Bank 
hope to make the Bank's vast knowledge resources easily accessible to 
a wide audience.
