Global Resources Center: a world of information at your fingertips!
GRC collections are highly curated research with a significant amount of grey literature and digital content shaped to support GW's global/regional focus. The content profile closely mirrors political events and developing trends in countries/regions within GRC’s scope and the way these events and trends are interwoven into, impact and are impacted by government, society, policy, culture, economics, law, etc. Building the collections requires focused monitoring of current events, analysis of the underlying social, cultural, economic, etc., currents, and ongoing projections about future directions. As a result, part of the collection’s unique value is in the way it reflects these facets of history over time. The collections closely chronicle key threads of the historical record helping to make it a rich research resource.
The GRC is available 24 hours a day to GW graduate students for study or research. Staff is available during regular business hours. See "Hours" for availability.
