Due to on going budgetary constraints the USAID Library does not subscribe to any of the major legal databases. There are, however, a number of online alternatives that are free to researchers.

Several databases provide access to primary source materials on their own sites, without any charge to the user. These sites vary in terms of the types of materials collected, the scope of their coverage, and their search options. Other sites provide free access to secondary resources such as law dictionaries and legal periodicals.

Use the tabs on the left hand side of this guide to navigate between these resources.
