On 25 November 2013, the United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) with cooperation of Iranian Association of International Affairs helped some 20 graduate students of regional studies (Persian Gulf) from the Allameh Tabatabaei University (ATU) to broaden their knowledge of the UN.

UNIC Reference Assistant Nazanin Ghaemmaghami addressed them on how to retrieve UN documentation and information from UN and UNIC websites and on the Dag Hammarskjold Library’s (DHL) web page during a workshop at the UN Conference Room in Tehran.

Ms. Ghaemmaghami elaborated on basic UN facts and gave an overview of important information-searching tools located through DHL resources and databases, including the United Nations Bibliographic Information System, Official Document System and UN Info Quest as well as press releases.

During the three-hour workshop Ms. Ghaemmaghami helped the participants to answer 10 pre made quiz questions.
