Has the criteria for getting a library pass
to the United Nations Changed?

Note this email from an anonymous questioner:

The procedure for a library pass is the following: the
interested party needs to fill out an application form
and supply a letter of recommendation in support of
the research.  If the needed material is not available
in a UN depository library (the list of depository
libraries is posted at:
http://www.un.org/depts/dhl/deplib/countries/), the
application is approved and sent to UN Security. UN
Security checks the application and, if approval is
granted, instructs the Pass Office to issue a library
pass for the applicant.

The issuance of a library pass is independent of NGO
status or any other status. There has been no change
in the library pass policy.
 
NGO representatives with UN grounds pass do not need
to apply for a library pass since the grounds pass
will allow them to use the UN Library.

I have been at this library since 1985 and confirm
again that there was no change in 1991.
