BIOTROP is the Regional Center for Tropical Biology of the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) which is involved in training and research activities in this field. The Information Resource Unit, to which the Library is attached, plays an important role in providing data about its subject interests, both to BIOTROP staff and other end-users in Indonesia as well as in other Southeast Asian countries. With the advent of the new millenium, Indonesia’s response to the emerging knowledge economy, the massive information explosion and rapid knowledge obsolescence is to become a “learning nation.” This means that all Indonesians, regardless of their socio-economic background, are encouraged to learn more and to make productive use of the knowledge gained - all the time. This learning process requires that libraries in the country provide good quality services. They have a crucial role in supporting the people in the life-long process of acquiring new knowledge and skills, especially in science and technology. BIOTROP, with its innovative programs, has taken the lead in this regard. The programs and services offered by the BIOTROP Library are presented in this paper.
