The
Yearbook of the United Nations has been the primary
reference work on the Organization since 1946. It details
the many activities of the Organization and its organs,
programs and bodies, as they are carried out in all
corners of the globe.
Produced
for the United Nations by Document Solutions, this valuable
collection of more than fifty years worth of Yearbooks
is available on CD-ROM.
The
“Collection”, which is on two CD-ROMs, includes
all 53 volumes of the United Nations Yearbook published
to date. Users of the CD-ROMs can access the 59,472
pages of text and indices in a familiar environment.
The Index search enables users to follow an issue across
volumes, tracking the many fundamental changes that
the Organization has seen over the years. Even more
specific full text searches are possible in any particular
Yearbook. The familiar Yearbook format has been retained
to make it as easy to browse, as it is to search for
specific information.
In
recognizing the broad audience for the United Nations
Yearbook, the CD-ROMs have been designed to work in
Windows, Macintosh, Linux and UNIX environments. The
Collection is also available in two versions, one designed
for the single user, which can be used on personal computers,
and the other designed for use on computer networks.
This latter version will make it possible for institutions,
such as libraries or government offices, to make the
Collection accessible to anyone that has access to their
networks.
