The United Nations Library – Vienna provides full library and information services to the staff of the United Nations (UNOV/UNODC) and Permanent Missions in Vienna and other authorized Library clients. The Library is part of the General Support Section of the UNOV Division for Management.
The Library belongs to the global network of United Nations Libraries and, at the Vienna International Centre, works closely with the International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Library.
The collection contains material related to the work of the United Nations entites based in Vienna, official United Nations documents in all official languages, the United Nations Treaty Series, and selected United Nations sales publications and documents of other United Nations organizations and specialized agencies. The online public access catalogue (OPAC) provides information on the materials available.
The library has also created a series of publicly available Research Guides on subjects related to the work of the United Nations entities based in Vienna. The Guides are designed to provide more information on the work done in Vienna and to highlight both United Nations and Library resources for further research in those subject areas.
