Globalization: Basic Government Information

United Nations Publications:  The Libraries purchase a microfiche collection of all UN publications that are not copyrighted.  We were a full depository for the UN from 1967 - 1991, but only for publications from the General Assembly, Secretariat, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, Trusteeship Council and the International Court of Justice. 

Although we are no longer a UN depository, we are continuing to purchase in paper several of the most heavily used reference titles from the main UN bodies.  They are being cataloged, but retain their UN classification numbers. 

All other publications from quasi-UN organizations such as FAO, WHO, UNESCO, ILO, etc., are not received through the UN depository system.  If the Libraries own such materials, they are received via Serials,Monograph Processing or some other library unit, and are cataloged for the stacks, a reference collection, or a branch library. 

Welcome to the United Nations. "It's Your World" is the official site for information about the history, structure, responsibilities, services and publications of the United Nations.
