Abstract
DEVINDEX Botswana, an index to literature on economic and social development in Botswana, which is the product of the information system for development literature in Botswana (DEVSIS Botswana), was analyzed from 1987-89 with a view to identifying the producers of development literature in Botswana, as well as establishing the various types of formats of the publications listed in the index. The study revealed that government agencies are the major producers of development literature. Other producers identified are the University of Botswana, non-governmental organizations, international organizations and the private sector. Development literature in Botswana appears in different formats, but primarily in the form of technical reports. Recommendations for improving the collection of socio-economic literature are made.
