SOLINET Brings MyiLibrary IGO e-Documents to Its Members
Through an agreement with Coutts Information Services, SOLINET is offering its membership a unique and important electronic
resource for researchers and others studying the social sciences on a global scale. MyiLibrary brings together on one platform
the electronic books, journals, reports, and other documents – easily searchable, cross searchable, and continuously updated –
from the Intergovernmental Organizations (IGO) affiliated or working closely with the United Nations. These organizations are
on the ground at the heart of some of the most urgent questions of the day, and the surveys, analyses, and reports they
produce provide the foundation for informed opinion and decision-making.
Because libraries are on the front lines in the delivery of information, SOLINET and Coutts have put together a very
inexpensive starter package that takes into account the fiscal constraints that characterize the landscape today. Through
September 30, 2005, SOLINET is offering the MyiLibrary Intergovernmental Organizations (IGO) Starter Collection, which
includes the e-collections of the International Labour Organization, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the International
Organization for Migration, the World Health Organization “Health Today” collection and UN AIDS.
In celebrating the agreement with MyiLibrary President Linda Vendryes, SOLINET Program Development Consultant Linda Howard
noted the value of the offer to SOLINET members: “These IGO e-collections will enhance immeasurably the research offerings of
our member libraries. We are delighted that Coutts and MyiLibrary were willing to work with us to make it affordable as well.”
Coutts Information Services is a full-service library supply company serving the academic, governmental, corporate, public,
and institutional book and information market. MyiLibrary specializes in the production of technology solutions for the
distribution and hosting of electronic books, journals, and other content.
