97 programme will take about 20 years. A programme of microfilming all archives documents is to be established in the near future. It is hoped that a League of Nations Archives publications programme will be realized, covering registry and section files, records, etc. Problems and Prospects Like any institution the library has its problems. In the overall framework of the U.N. there is a need for a well thought-out system of co-operation with dispersed divisional documentation and reference units. An ambitious but realistic automation programme should be envisaged for research purposes. The budget is still far too limited, as is the number of staff, (all told, 45). With a healthier budget and an improved personnel situation, the library would be able to extend and ameliorate the service it can render the U.N., other international organizations, governments and the world community of scholars.
