The United Nations Scholars' Workstation at Yale University has been established
as a web site at the Internet URL address:
http://www.library.yale.edu/un/unhome.htm

Developed by the Yale University Library, the Social Science Statistical
Laboratory and United Nations Studies, the site is a collection of digitized
texts, finding aids, data sets, maps, and pointers to print and electronic
information.  Subject coverage includes disarmament, economic and social
development, environment, human rights, international relations, international
trade, peacekeeping, and population and demography.  The site is organized into
three main sections, described below:

(1)     Academic information about "UN Studies at Yale University" describes the
curriculum and faculty as well as the Independent Working Group on the Future of
the United Nations and its report, "The United Nations in its Second Half
Century" (to be released at this site on June 19 after noon).

(2)     "Research Tools to Locate UN Information" includes guides to the use of
Yale's UN depository collection, how to find UN materials in Yale's online
public catalog, how to search Nexis/Lexis for UN information, access to key UN
web sites, descriptions of UN-related compact disks, a bibliography of recently
acquired UN documentation and secondary literature, and information about
numeric data sets pertinent to international relations research.

(3)     "Research Approaches to UN Information" offers access to other sites on
the
Internet, re-organized so that it's possible to search by the UN organizational
structure, by research topic, by geographic area, or for biographical
information.
