The Yearbook of International Organizations Online is a database accessible via online browsers. Being free of space constraints, it contains more information than the book or CD-ROM versions of the Yearbook of International Organizations. For instance, the book and CD-Rom contain descriptions of 35,000 active international organizations, while the online database includes nearly double that figure by including profiles of 25,000 dormant or inactive organizations. In addition, the Yearbook online is updated continually and therefore contains the most recent information - the book and CD-ROM editions are only published once a year.

Technical requirements and support
The logon facility requires, for uninterrupted use, that cookies be enabled on your browser as well as ability to process JavaScript code. Some non-text visualization features do not work with certain browser/platform combinations, notably some of the network mapping features using JAVA applets, and some other need downloading free plug-ins such as VRML, SVG, or PDF. Subscriptions are available for one year, one month or one week - see short-term access to the Yearbook. Prices are also available on request for multiple user site licences. Access is available via username+password or IP-recognition authentication. For more information, see our technical troubleshooting section, or contact us.
