As one of the ~~ans of promotion ONIDO coapiles directories and quides to selected specific inforaation sources on sectors of industry of priaary concern to developinq countries. The present quide, dealing with the non-ferrous aetal industries, belongs also to the series of ONIDO Guides to Inforaation Sources (UNIDO/LIB/SER.D). A list of the guides published to date appears at the end of this quider aany will be updated over the next years and aore are planned for the series. The directories and quides are not intended to be exhaustive, nor to be research toolsJ rather they present sources considered to be of practical value to users. The data have been compiled so as to facilitate rapid access to the bodies referred to and the acquisition of th• publications listed. The non-ferrous aetal industries play a aajor role in the econoay of several industri~lized and developing countries. They constitute a subsystem of production and have important relations with the capital goods industries, the iron and steel sector, the enerqy sector, environ11ental pollution and its control, and the construction sector. Therefore the non-ferrous aetal industries are very sensitive to fluctuations in the global ~conoay and to overall trendsJ ~ransnational corporations possess a major role in their development. During the collection and compilation of the data con~ained in this Guide, emphasis has been 9iven to information eourc4s concerning not only the aetals aluminiua, copper, lead. nickel, tin and zinc but also other non-ferrous metals such as chroaiua, aanganese, titaniua, rare eart~1s, precious ..tals etc. UNIDO has provide~ technical assistance to • number ~f dev.el~pinq countries in establishinq and developing non-ferrous aetal industries and continues to assist in p!annin9 and iaple.. ntin~ an integrated approach for both their further development and their support. iii EXPLANATORY NOTES The desiqnations e•ployed and the presentation of the material in this guide do net iaply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations Industrial Development Orqanization (UNIDO) concerning the legal status of any country or its authorities, or concerninq the deliaitation of its frontiers.
