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.
