The Embassy has an extended reference, research and news service administered by the Information Resource Center (IRC).

The Information Resource Center assists both the general public and the Embassy’s official contacts. With our specialized knowledge of the United States, we can help you find a comprehensive answer to a U.S. related question or point you in the right direction for further information.

The Information Resource Center administers the Embassy web site, and we continuously work to improve the information portals you see in the left hand menu, ranging from overviews of general information about the U.S. to specific topics such as history, society and culture, and studying in the U.S.

Services

• News articles – access to 10.000+ sources
• Government information – quick access to statements, fact sheets, transcripts
• Legislation updates
• Newsletters in 6 subject fields (see the box on the right side of the page)
• General information on the United States
  Please Note: We do NOT answer inquiries concerning visas, immigration, and citizenship matters. All such inquiries must be referred to the Consular Section (please see the navigation menu in the header).

Collection

Our visitors are welcome to use the ProQuest General Periodicals Ondisc database, which contains abstracts and articles of U.S. periodicals starting from 1987. Please note that our book collection is limited to a very few reference works on U.S. history, government and culture.
