Welcome to CES Library Catalogue


The CES library is a unique resource for those working with children, families and communities. Its origins can be traced back to the Policy Research Bureau in London. CES's library reflects the past, present and evolving multi-disciplinary and international nature of the research into policy and practice to improve outcomes for children, families and communities in which they live.

You can search the library catalogue above.

The library's primary role is to support the information needs and activities of CES staff, but it also welcomes visitors who wish to refer to its specialised holdings.

The categories covered can be found here.
