FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ramona Kohrs <kohrs@un.org> Date: Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 2:32 AM Subject: [IFLA-L] Introducing the new UN Dag Hammarskjöld Library website To: ifla-l@infoserv.inist.fr Dear colleagues, The Dag Hammarskjöld Library at UN Headquarters in New York is excited to introduce its new website in six official UN languages. The new Internet address (URL) is http://library.un.org. It features our new identifier, expanded multilingual content, improved search, and a fresh new look. As part of the Library’s strategy to deliver more online content about the UN in all six official languages, we have added dozens of new Research Guides - in French, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, and Arabic - with more in the pipeline. In addition, we have increased the number of entries in our Ask DAG database of frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the UN, its activities and its documentation. Ask DAG now includes over 800 FAQs in French, Spanish, and English. The new website also brings together information about the United Nations libraries collections and services, with resources and tools to support our UN Depository Libraries, other partner libraries, and information centres around the world. Information about the UN Depository Library Programmecan be found by clicking "UN Depository Libraries" from the "About" drop down menu: The direct Internet address (URL) is https://library.un.org/content/united-nations-depository-library-programme - please add it to your favourites! We would like to highlight the new searchable directory of depository libraries and UN Information Centres around the world which allows you to look up depository libraries by city, country, geographical region, and DL number (Library code). For now, the pages about the UN Depository Library Programme are only available in English, but we hope to be able to translate them into the other official UN languages in due course. We welcome all feedback on our new website - kindly send it to library-ny [at] un [dot] org and/or dhldl [at] un [dot] org.
