Since DHLs ultimate goal is to make the catalogues created by the Small and Field Libraries accessible on the Web, some uniformity in the use of subjects is desirable. Such uniformity can be achieved by using the UNBIS Thesaurus developed in six languages by the DHL. Additionally, the DHL can send a free copy of the print version (1995 edition) of the Thesaurus to any UN library requesting it (the print version is currently available in English, French and Spanish).
