ICPD NOW ON COMPUTER NETWORKS
This newsletter and other information about the International
Conference on Population and Development are now available on
several electronic communications networks.
A population information "gopher" on the Internet computer
network has been organized by the Population Information Network
(POPIN) of the United Nations Population Division, Department for
Economic and Social Information and Policy Analysis (DESIPA), in
collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
and with financial support from UNFPA. This is located within the
UNDP gopher (server address: gopher.undp.org); access is free to
Internet users world-wide.
The POPIN gopher will soon include Conference documents;
newsletters and press releases of the ICPD Secretariat; and other
electronic journals, software, press releases and directories
contributed by international organizations, Governments and NGOs.
Resources cover topics in population and development, including
family planning. POPIN welcomes additional relevant postings. For
