INFORMATION USA, the Information Resource Center of the American Embassy in Bucharest, is Romania's first source of official information about American businesses, government and society. It is an integral part of the Public Diplomacy section of the U.S. Embassy in Romania.

The mission of INFORMATION USA is to support the post's program activities within established themes and objectives, to provide timely information on selected topics about the United States to today's Romanian opinion leaders in media, government, business, academia, and NGOs, and to provide information and services to other Mission elements in support of their official needs.

WHAT WE DO

The IRC offers reference material and advanced research services to Romanian institutions and professionals on various aspects of U.S. policies, including federal/state legislation and regulations, foreign and domestic policy, international relations, defense and security, social and political processes, economics and trade issues, history and culture, environmental issues, telecommunications issues and policies, and also outreach programs. In addition, a quick reference service is provided to cover addresses, telephone and fax numbers of government and private organizations, simple statistics, biographical information on prominent persons and other matters of general interest. Similar reference services are offered to Mission officers.

Program support activities include providing background and biographical information on potential speakers, preparing information packets for distribution at programs, following-up contacts with program attendees, keeping relevant staff members informed about new program-related information or new sources of information and providing reference services on an ad hoc basis. All reference services are provided by telephone, fax, mail, and e-mail. The IRC's staff of bilingual reference specialists is pleased to assist in using the IRC resources in order to retrieve information from and about the U.S. All users are encouraged to discuss their queries with the reference staff.

INFORMATION USA is opened for U.S.A. related research by appointment only.
