The main objective of INIS is to provide access to information on scientific literature on the peaceful uses of nuclear energy published worldwide. INIS operates under special membership arrangements that set specific duties and privileges. Currently 128 Member States and 24 international organizations are members of INIS. In early 2012, Mr Yukiya Amano, the Director General of IAEA, approved the overall restructuring of the Department of Nuclear Energy (NE). This included the creation of the Nuclear Information Section (NIS) and the establishment of a separate Nuclear Knowledge Management Section. The newly created Nuclear Information Section consists of: • INIS Unit • IAEA Library Unit • Systems Development and Support Group The restructuring and creation of NIS provides an opportunity to further enhance existing information products and services, and introduce new ones geared towards achieving higher organizational efficiency and effectiveness. The Content Management Group, Database Production and Imaging Group, and Capacity Building and Liaison Group were combined to create one single monolithic INIS Unit. The 36th Consultative Meeting of the INIS Liaison Officers (ILOM), held in Vienna from 4-5 October, 2012, was attended by representatives from 47 Member States and 5 international organizations. The meeting reviewed INIS activities since the 35th ILOM, held in 2010, the use and effectiveness of INIS, and its future. Presentations were delivered by INIS Liaison Officers and speakers from Azerbaijan, Brazil, China, India, Japan, Pakistan, the Russian Federation, Syria, and the USA, providing valuable information on many aspects of their INIS operations and suggesting further developments. The important role of national INIS centres in preserving major nuclear accidents’ literature was stressed, as was the need to provide access to other types and formats of nuclear information. With the completion of the 2012 production, a total of 130 999 records were added this year. This brings the number of records in the INIS Collection to 3 494 544. This figure makes 2012 the second highest year for total annual input in 43 years of INIS. The number of records input into the INIS Collection has steadily increased over the past years, more than double the number of annual entries since 2000. An additional 34 580 full texts (24 742 from microfiche and 9838 from Vol. 43) were prepared and uploaded, bringing the total of full text documents available in the collection to 469 271, of which 314 729 are publicly accessible. Several INIS members sent INIS input for the first time, some after many years of no input. Over 90 000 IAEA Library bibliographic records were added to the INIS Collection. This enables a simplified and more efficient single access point to both the INIS and IAEA Library collections. This collection of documents on the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology is now fully indexed and searchable online using Google based technology. Around 47 000 searches and 2700 downloads were performed monthly. At the request of the Group of 77, the INIS Secretariat organized a briefing on the main products and services of INIS and highlighted the major
