'Naderen' is to approach in the literal sense of the word.
* De trein nadert Amsterdam.
* De winter nadert.
* Tim nadert de directeur. (= comes closer)
'Benaderen' is to approach in a figurative sense.
* Tim benadert de directeur voor advies. (= contacts)
* Wij moeten dit probleem anders benaderen.
So the criterion is not what/who is approached, but in what way.

omg needed to think about this one for a second.. but i think the difference is that "naderen" you say when you approach (for example a building) library and "benaderen" is when you approach a person (or an animal).
So in dutch it will be like
we naderen nu de bibliotheek (library).
en
We benaderen de hond die weg gelopen is.
