The comments of the Secretary-General (A/39/299/Add.l) and of the Administrative Committee on Co-ordination (A/39/299/Add.2) were based on the reactions of the main user departments and offices in New York, all the reqional commissions and most of the United Nations offices away from Headquarters, as well as of eiqht specialized agencies. All without exception had welcomed the emphasis placed b¥ the report on the need to improve information transfer and management within the United Nations. The report's main conclusions highlighted the lack of system-wide co-ordination, the underutilization of information resources accumulated by the libraries, and the failure to make adequate use of the most up-to-date technoloqies.

The implementation of international standards han facilitated the exchanqe of tapes between the Daq Hammarskjold Lihrarv and the F~CAP and Vienna libraries. Other co-operative projects had heen initiated with ECLAC, UNEP and the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements.

Lastly, efforts were under way towards the creation of a United Nations Thesaurus under the auspices of the Advisory Committee on Co-ordination of Information Systems.
