The Youth Observatory of the Spanish Youth Institute (INJUVE) makes available for professionals, researchers, students, and responsible people for public policies its Youth Library, one of the main documentary centres specialised in studies on youth in Spain.
This service gathers a broad bibliographic and documentary collection about the different dimensions that affect young people, including areas like education, social participation, emancipation, employment, health, culture, social inclusion, or youth policies. Its collection comprehends materials from various disciplines, which enables a multidisciplinary approach to youth realities.
In addition to the online catalogue, the Library offers resources of special interest for the professional and research community, such as monographic bulletins, bibliographic news, and different tools for specialised search. The most recent highlighted publications include documentary resources on mental health and youth, young women, hate speeches, immigration, or rural youth.
The Youth Chair at the Universitat de València considers that this Library is an essential tool for ongoing update of knowledge and for the development of discourses and research studies based on evidences. The availability of a specialised documentary centre makes the access to rigorous information easy and contributes to improve the quality of the policies, programmes, and actions addressed to young people.
The Youth Library at INJUVE can be seen through its online catalogue and the available resources at the web space of the Youth Observatory.
