Under both Acts of Parliament which created the Council and the Institute’s Management Board, one of the main functions of the Institute is to collect, store and disseminate Scientific and Technical Information (STI) and to actively carry out documentation activities in relevant areas of science and technology (S&T). The Information Services Unit (ISU) was established to execute this function.

The ISU comprises the Documentation Section; Editorial Office; and the Library with branches at Head Office, Kitwe and Chilanga.

The Unit is currently undertaking the following projects:

•  Research Communication and Information Network (RESCINET)

•  ICT-based Training Centre

•  National Biosafety Clearing House Mechanism
