Ifrane, April 22, 2011 -- The Mohammed VI Library at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane has added two new databases, ZETOC and Europa World Plus, currently available on a trial basis through its electronic resources page at www.aui.ma/library.

ZETOC provides access to the British Library's Electronic Table of Contents of about 20,000 current journals and around 16,000 conference proceedings published each year. The database covers the period 1993 to the present, and is updated daily.

Europa World Plus is the online version of the Europa World Year Book and the nine-volume Europa Regional Surveys of the World series. Europa World Plus provides "key documents," recent and historical, covering a variety of regional and international conflicts and political developments.

The Mohammed VI Library at Al Akhawayn has a growing collection of over 90,000 print volumes, 40,000 electronic journals, 355 print journals, 1,850 audiovisual items, and 26 databases. The Mohammed VI Library was the first open stack library in Morocco when it opened in 1995, and the first to use the U.S. Library of Congress Classification System. “Open stack” means that students, faculty, and staff have direct and full access to all library resources, without having to go through a librarian to retrieve a book from the shelves.
