The collections of publications from International Governmental Organizations in the Stanford University Libraries reflect the diverse and interdisciplinary research needs of the Stanford community. The Stanford Libraries are depositories for publications of the United Nations, the International Maritime Organization and the International Civil Aviation Organization and the World Trade Organization. The Library maintains blanket subscriptions which bring in the most important series from the World Bank, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the International Monetary Fund. In addition, the Libraries actively acquire publications from all the major global IGO's as well as regional IGO's such as the Organization of American States, the Asian Development Bank, and the Andean Pact.

Publications are housed in various Stanford University Libraries depending upon their subject content. For example, OECD publications related to education will be found in the Cubberly Education Library. IGO publications from the IMF or the UN which report research results in other social science disciplines such as economics and political science will be found in the Green Library stacks. The coordinate Libraries maintain collections that reflect local needs: the Crown Law Library acquires International Court of Justice and World Intellectual Property Organization documents; the Jackson Library acquires material from the World Bank and OECD; and the Lane Medical Library acquires World Health Organization publications. However, the largest collection of IGO materials at Stanford University; concentrating on statistical series and administrative records from the major IGO's will be found in the Jonsson Library of Government Documents.
