"We made extensive use of the African Studies thesaurus with our African Diaspora Project collection in our digital repository. The thesaurus of ASC Leiden was key in getting this project started in terms of grouping together like items and enabling keyword searching. The thesaurus was easy to use, the cross-referencing was excellent, and its depth was wide."
Pamela Contakos, Donald B. Watt Library, Brattleboro, Vermont (USA) (16-2-2009)

"De bibliotheek van het ASC is simpelweg de beste bibliotheek waar ik ooit gewerkt heb".
Baz Lecocq (11-4-2007)

"Their online catalog is a excellent source for locating journal articles. The Catalogue includes annotated citations to articles, chapters from edited works acquired since 1988 and published in African Studies Abstracts".

"Al vele jaren bezoek ik geregeld de ASC bibliothheek en al die jaren heb ik de collectie van de bibliotheek als goed en betrouwbaar ervaren. Ik hoop dat de kwaliteit en de service van de bibliotheek zich in de toekomst blijft ontwikkelen".

"Ik was verrast over de omvang van uw bibliotheek, over de boeken die mij meteen aanspraken, over de overzichtelijkheid en toegangkelijkheid van de collectie. M.a.w. ik ben erg enthousiast over de bibliotheek. Ik heb nog geen gebruik gemaakt van de online catalogus, ook omdat ik direct contact met de bibliotheek in persoon prettiger vind; al snuffelend vind je ook zoveel".

"I teach African Political Systems at the University of Pavia, and I often use the ASC Library to do research. I know many libraries in Europe, and I honestly think that the ASC library is one of the best (if not the best) of them all, in terms both of quantity and quality of service. The only suggestion: longer opening times..".
