International Intergovernmental Organizations - Key Access Points

This site is not intended to be either exhaustive or extensive. It is only intended to be a start by leading the user to a couple of key sites which will lead to other international intergovernmental organization (IGO) sites, and provide direct access to IGO sites which are of greatest interest to Iowa State University.

KEY ACCESS POINTS TO IGO SITES

Northwestern University Library
Provides a large number of links to a high number of sites, including small international governmental organizations to large IGOs, from organizations such as the Arab Satellite Communications Organization to organizations such as the United Nations.
United Nations
Provides references and in some cases full text to current documentation of the UN. Also has links to a host of IGOs. Some of the files are fee based, e.g. treaties and the Monthly Bulletin of Statistics. One useful database for the busy reference desk is UNIQUE, a ready reference file created by the Dag Hammerskjold Library for frequently received queries.
