We believe that Olympic knowledge deserves to be shared and should be easily accessible to researchers and professionals worldwide. This is why we have created the Olympic World Library (OWL), a brand new and bilingual platform.The OWL is simultaneously a library catalogue, an information portal and a search engine and is entirely dedicated to Olympic knowledge. Whether you are looking for an official publication from the IOC or an organising committee, all existing publications on a specific subject, direct access to digital documents or to learn what is available for consultation in the IOC historical archives, you can find everything easily and directly via this platform. It also offers you the opportunity to see all the latest additions to our catalogue or dive into one of the monthly themes on offer, such as marketing in the Olympic Movement or Olympic Games impact and legacy, and much more. The OWL gives you easy and direct access to the latest publications on the topic.
