Centro de Informacao e Pesquisa (IRC)

The Information Resource Center (IRC) serves Brazilian institutions, the U.S. Consulate staff and researchers providing specialized, substantive, and accurate information about the United States, with emphasis on U.S. government policies and U.S.-Brazil bilateral relations.

Professionally trained librarians, using electronic and print materials, respond to questions on:

*Democracy *Economic Issues *Global Issues *Information and Communication *Political Security *U.S. Society, Values and Policies

At the moment, there are three IRCs in Brazil: Brasília, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Most IRC material is in English and services are provided via e-mail, fax, telefone and regular mail. The IRC collection is for reference only.
