    The presentation tackles issues of collection, organization, and utilization of international population resources by primarily using experience of Princeton's Stokes Library. I first summarize the Stokes Library's successful experience in collecting, organizing, and making available the information and knowledge of international population resources, particularly censuses and vital statistics of developing countries. Secondly, I discuss challenges incurred by many factors, especially collection complexities of international scope and institutional, organizational, and system changes. Thirdly, I make a general review about how to overcome challenges and create opportunities on the part of population librarians. Lastly, I discuss practical ways to make better access of international population resources. The conclusion is that, given the sometimes uncertain macro environments, librarians should be initiative and proactive, and they can help create positive changes and make international population collection more available and accessible.
