RCSS LIBRARY
RCSS Library
Since its inception in March 2001, the RCSS library has been playing an important role in imparting information to the scholarly community in the south Asian region. The need for a good research library on South Asian Security Studies was felt, as there is a dearth of information for university students, scholars, military officers and researchers. Having established the RCSS library in 2001, people from each corner of the country visit the RCSS library to obtain knowledge and information. As Sri Lanka is a developing country most of the university undergraduates do not have easy access to reading materials for their studies. The RCSS library helps them to obtain maximum usage of scholarly materials through its physical and e-repository collections. In particular it has now become a popular location for foreign students and researchers pursuing studies on Sri Lanka and the South Asian region. The reference material available in the library covers almost all aspects of modern international studies, such as those dealing with conflict and peace, traditional and non-traditional sources of civil friction, arms proliferation, war-displaced populations, and human security issues. The RCSS library services are offered to universities, military academies, research institutes, schools, NGO/INGOs and the public in the region.
RCSS Digital Library
The library of RCSS has created a blog on Strategic Studies and a Digital Reference Library Portal on South Asian Strategic Studies and International Relations to provide effective information services regionally and globally.
The RCSS Digital Library can be accessed here: (RCSS Library)
