Country Profiles

Selected list of web sites containing country profiles created by intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and bilateral aid organizations such as USAID with an emphasis on developing nations.

Country profiles

This guide includes links to some established collections of country profiles world-wide, and also links to  IGOs, NGOs, and Bilateral Development Organizations, because they provide information on their members or the countries in which they work.

 

Connect to the UO Network from Off Campus

1. Library Proxy Service

Links on library webpages (including  in LibrarySearch, Browzine, and Databases A-Z) run through a proxy server which verifies you are a UO member, and are eligible to access library materials. When you click on a proxied link for the first time in the session, you are prompted to enter your DuckID and password to access the resource.

2. VPN (Virtual Private Network) Service

For certain library resources, using the UO's VPN service will be necessary.  VPN is not necessary for Canvas or LibrarySearch access.

If the proxied links or bookmarklet aren't working for you, the VPN lets you join the UO's network from off-campus. Using the VPN slows your internet speed, so only connect when you need to access resources, and disconnect once you're done.
