UN Resolutions On-Line

Date: Thu, 9 Dec 1993 21:56:30 -0500 (EST) From: Malcolm Chapman SUBJECT: UN RESOLUTIONS ONLINE

This is to announce that you can now read UN DPI Press Releases and General Assembly, Security Council and ECOSOC resolutions on the UNDP gopher (gopher.undp.org). This is the first 'official' UN gopher server on the net. Other agencies are implementing their own (check out the 'Other UN & related Gophers' entry).

UNDP, together with DPI is striving to make as much UN public information available on this gopher as possible. The information is also available for people who have only access to e-mail via our gophermail gateway. Instructions on how to use this facility can be obtained by sending a message to gopher@undp.org (subject and contents irrelevant). It is reasonably easy to use and bridges the information gap for people beyond the IP connected world.

Regards - Malcolm Chapman, UNDP/DAIS

======================================================================== Date: Wed, 8 Dec 1993 21:26:13 -0500 (EST) From: B.R. Samizdat Express SUBJECT: UN RESOLUTIONS ON 31 DISKS

We have just added 31 disks of UN resolutions to our PLEASE COPY THIS DISK collection. These include Security Council Resolutions from 1974 to the present, Economic and Social Council Resolutions from 1982 to the present; and General Assembly Resolutions from 1981 to the present.

The UN information on these disks is unique. It is not yet available on the Internet, and cannot be found in the print collections of public or university libraries. These files were obtained directly from the UN's Department of Public Information by our partner in this venture -- Global Education Motivators (GEM).

GEM is uploading this and other information onto their searchable database, UNISER, which is hosted at the University of Kentucky, and which is scheduled to start operation on December 20. For details on access to that database and usage fees for it, please contact GEM directly by email starting December 20 at INFO@UN.CC.UKY.EDU; or write to: GEM, Chestnut Hill College, Germantown & Northwestern Avenues, Chestnut Hill, PA 19118-2695 Phone: (215)248-1150.

We are making public-domain and "freely available" information available on IBM/Macintosh disks. Each disk sells for $10, and we encourage you to make as many copies of these disks as you need to share with colleagues and students.

Here is a list of the 31 new ones. Please let us know if you would like to receive our complete list (currently 156 disks) and information on how to order. (If you are interested in ordering 25 or more disks, or in establishing a deposit account, please ask about our special terms for special relationships.)
