The OECD online library

SourceOECD is an e-library offering online access to all OECD publications and reports, covering economic and social issues from macroeconomics and trade to education, development, science and innovation. This rich websource comprises 20 thematic book collections, 24 periodicals, 3 reference titles, 24 OECD statistical databases and 10 other statistical databases from other sources, all in full-text and retrievable in pdf format. Despite the richness of contents, the website gives no problems for orientation and item retrieval: well structured and integrated webpages are offered in English and French, with advanced search tools (operating with Boolean indicators) and simple downloading feature. Access to the portal is free, but only authorised users can obtain the full text of the publications and access the databases. Working papers are instead availbale for free. An abstracting and indexing service is also provided offering collection of citations from thousands of sources in over ten languages. An individual or institutional affiliation is required to retrieve the full library’s materials, and printed editions are available, as an option, within every subscription. Free trial periods are available. An user guide is retrievable in various languages for understanding the website’s mission and functioning. Orientation is quite simple in this dense website.
