There are few countries in the world that have better access to environmental information all in one place than Namibia. Indeed, in this regard we are the envy of many countries, including so-called developed or industrialised nations. And it all happens through Namibia’s environmental one-stop-shop, the Environmental Information System (EIS). About 15 years ago, four friends and colleagues - environmental scientists, programmers and IT specialists - decided to set up an electronic, web-based environmental information system and service for Namibia. With the support of the IT, Internet and web provider company Paratus, the EIS was born. Over the years, as small amounts of funding were secured to invest in the system, the EIS slowly grew in size and significance. It started with an electronic, on-line library. Today, this is Namibia's largest, most comprehensive and accessible library of environmental material - and it is free to anyone in the world who has access to the Internet. A key objective of the EIS was to democratise access to environmental information. Whether you are a student, researcher, conservation manager, policymaker, learner or an interested member of the public, you can access the eLibrary from Windhoek, Warmbad, Katima Mulilo or anywhere in the world, including on your smartphone. Another feature of the eLibrary is that, in addition to published articles, it contains a large amount of "grey" literature: important reports, data sets, theses, presentations and other material that is not otherwise readily accessible. The eLibrary has a user-friendly search interface. If you are interested, for example, in Climate Change, you simply enter those words in the search box and a list of all relevant reports and publications will be produced. You can then click on the articles that interest you and read them online or download them for free. If a listed article is not on the EIS, it will direct you via a link to the journal that published the article.
