In a sea of information (and mis-information!) you need the NI Ark. This new edition - NI Ark 2003 - includes the full text of 20 years of New Internationalist magazines, from Jan 1983 through to Dec 2002. You can read all of the magazines on-screen from the CD-ROM or simply use it as a high-speed index to your printed back issues of New Internationalist magazine.

Looking for some background on Iraq? Simply go to the Mega Index on the NI Ark and you’ll find a range of important historic articles: - A profile of the country as it stood in 1988.- A complete 1992 issue of NI "The Gulf in flames" on the impact of the 1991 Gulf War.- A complete 1999 issue of NI on the impact of the UN sanctions that devastated Iraq, plus a subsequent piece on the resignation (in protest at the sanctions) of a key UN staff member.

You’ll be able to locate the articles immediately in your library of back issues of NI. Oh dear, you don’t have them neatly filed in NI Binders? No problem: Simply double click and go straight to the article on-screen.

What's new?In this new NI Ark 2003 we’ve added all of the 2002 editions of NI, another great year of engaging and useful magazines. It’s well worth looking back over NI’s assessment of subjects from West Papua to Israel & Palestine; from Refugees to Dissent in America; from AIDS to Patents on Life and much more. But we’ve also added more of our older magazines, right back to 1983. This gives a unique research and learning opportunity through the ability to track changes in development thinking and practice.

The magnificent hand-edited Mega Index - fully linked so you jump straight to the articles - now has over 23,000 entries, covering 20 years of NI magazines. Look, for example, under Country Profile - Zimbabwe, and you’ll find an NI profile from July 1990, and then a re-visit in May 2001. This long time-scale of the NI Ark 2003 enables easy research on the progress of nations towards social justice.
