Dear Mr. Brewer,
In answer to your questions:
1) Although the Dag Hammarskjöld Library and the NGO Section are both
within DPI, admission to the Library is not related to NGO status except in
the positive sense: anyone with a pass permitting entrance to the United
Nations premises (including accredited NGO representatives as well as
accredited members of the press) can enter and use the Library facilities.
Otherwise, a library pass is required. Passes are granted to serious
researchers upon presentation of a letter with the raised seal of your
institution and subject to clearance by both the Library and UN Security.
Please contact ratynski@un.org for
further details.
2) Depository libraries are open to the general public and should be
approached first, as most often they have the materials you require.
3) I am not aware of any changes in 1991.
4) Our name is the Dag Hammarskjöld Library. Please contact our website at
http://www.un.org/Depts/dhl/
for information on our products and services.
The Cambridge University Library is a full deposit
with material going
back to 1947, and, as stated above, the depository collection is mandated
to be open to the public.
Phyllis Dickstein, Head Librarian
I am very near Cambridge I will try to get access without NGO status
