The C3 Library of International Development's Online Catalogue permits extensive research among the ÖFSE , Women's Solidarity and BAOBAB collections. In addition, we offer access to the Online Catalogue of the Austrian Institute for Latin America , a partner organisation in collaboration with the C3 Library of International Development.

Women's Solidarity and ÖFSE are both members of the Austrian Library Network, and BAOBAB is a member of the Libraries Association of Austria. Submitting a query to the Entire Network Catalogue will search the collections – at present, as they stood in 2005 – of over 75 libraries within the network. This includes the Austrian national library and the libraries of Universities, institutes, various public bodies and authorities, and many other organisations.
