Abstract
United Nations publications and the related policies build on those of the League of Nations. The United Nations goals are to provide data to an international audience and the United Nations does this through some 4,000 backlisted titles and 400 new titles per year; some titles are for the general public, most are for specialized audiences. The United Nations provides printing of parliamentary (e.g., General Assembly) documents, studies, reports, and commercial items at New York City's largest printing plant, at other locations, and by contractual printing. The United Nations Publications Board controls policies and procedures; commercial operations are undertaken through co-publications and direct sales. Production, distribution, and sales all occur from several countries, and depository libraries and other libraries are the main “public” recipients. Operations are similar among the United Nations and specialized agencies, but the United Nations is not exactly comparable to a commercial publisher or a university press.
