FIV - The German Information Network International Relations and Area Studies offers joint information products for government bodies, FIV member institutes and the general public. In addition to these, member institutes also offer specialised products, including bibliographies, readers, link lists and other information services for their own users.


Joint information products

IREON - The International Relations and Area Studies Gateway provides a central point of access to all relevant bibliographic information in the field. As the gateway also is part of vascoda, the German gateway for scientific and scholarly information, it is possible to carry out simultaneous searches in other databases.
   
To improve the availability of these information services in non-German-speaking countries, FIV has produced a multilingual thesaurus in cooperation with several European research organisations: European Thesaurus on International Relations and Area Studies.
   
To facilitate effective searching in World Affairs Online, FIV has developed its own classification system for international relations and area studies:
 
The fortnightly Current Bibliography International Relations and Area Studies, containing new entries to the database World Affairs Online.
 
Access to World Affairs Online through German and international hosts
   
Access to parts of World Affairs Online in the virtual libraries Menalib, Cibera, and VifaPol
