Production Capacity
within a strategic reframing of the Union of International Associations (2005)
The UIA has an international reputation for producing
registry products of high quality on a regular basis, over decades, within
the very tight production schedules required for low-cost reference book
and CD production in partnership with for-profit enterprises. These capacities
have been seamlessly integrated with the interactive services associated
with the web dissemination of this registry data since 1996 |
|
Profiling: 5,000 pages / year |
For its printed reference books, the UIA produces some
5,000 pages / year, in addition to information made available on CD-Rom
