AccessUN Description<\/strong>
\nAccessUN serves primarily as an ongoing Web-based index to more than 500,000 current and archived citations. Documents and publications in the index is from the main bodies of the United Nations. Includes current and retrospective United Nations documents.<\/p>\n

AccessUN provides indexing for United Nations documents and publications as far back as 1966, with links to some full text documents. <\/p>\n

Also known as: Index to United Nations Documents and Publications. Articles appearing in UN periodicals are individually indexed. In fact, AccessUN operates very similiarly to other catalogs, but “it’s a little quirky”.
\nAccessUN contains also more than 10,000 full-text documents. Each year approximately 1,000 new, full-text documents, are added.<\/p>\n

Review of AccessUN<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to \u201cIntroduction to Research in International Law, Research Guide\u201d (see Further Reading) this specialized online index “provides access to current and retrospective United Nations documents and publications.<\/p>\n

Articles appearing in UN periodicals are individually indexed. Indexing of the bilateral and multilateral treaties in the UN Treaty Series is another unique feature of the Index. Documents from the six main bodies of the United Nations – General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, Trusteeship Council, Secretariat and International Court of Justice – are indexed. Masthead documents (formerly referred to as mimeographed documents), Official Records, sales publications, limited and restricted documents, and documents emanating from sessional and standing committees, functional commissions, conferences and regional bodies are the basis of the Index.<\/p>\n

Full-text resolutions from the General Assembly, Security Council and the Economic and Social Council are appended to their respective bibliographic citations. The Index supports access to the microfiche and paper formats of your library’s United Nations holdings. Readex provides libraries with a comprehensive microfiche collection of non-copyrighted United Nations documents and publications. The “Readex Year” field readily identifies documents included in the Readex microfiche collection. Period covered is from 1996 to the present. Use this database for finding materials about East Asian affairs from the United Nations and its various suborganizations.”<\/p>\n
