The OECD iLibrary, the new platform giving seamless and comprehensive access
to statistical data, books, journals and working papers, is now available.
It replaces SourceOECD and hosts all content equally so users can find – and
cite – tables and databases as easily as articles or chapters. The citation
tool for datasets and tables is new and unique to the OECD iLibrary.

OECD iLibrary contains all the publications and datasets released by OECD
(Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development), International
Energy Agency (IEA), Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), OECD Development Centre,
PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment), and International
Transport Forum (ITF) since 1998 – some 390 complete databases, 2.500
working papers, 5.500 books, 14.000 tables and graphs, 21.000 chapters and
articles.

OECD iLibrary has the following new features:

• Intuitive navigation by country or theme.
• Granular content - users can search and click directly to tables, chapters
or articles.
• Integrated search results, showing all available file formats (PDF, HTML,
XLS).
• A citation tool for all content, compatible with popular bibliographic
management systems.
• Content in context - related content is one click away. 
• Links to previous editions, with the option to download any full-text item
such as tables or chapters from the table of contents.
• Every content level has a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) and fixed URL.
• Users can navigate back and forth via hierarchical “breadcrumb trails”.
• Executive summaries available for key titles in up to 20 languages.
• Data available as ready-made, downloadable tables, or, for experienced
users, in databases for users to build and extract their own tables.
• OECD.Stat is fully integrated, offering multiple export formats (including
SDMX) explanatory metadata and links to related publications.
• 44,000 home pages with Google friendly URLs.

OECD iLibrary supersedes SourceOECD as the main OECD publishing platform,
and all existing subscribers are now being migrated. Parallel access to
SourceOECD will be available to subscribers until the migration process is
complete.

OECD has been communicating to all customers so that they can become
familiar with the new service prior to end-users returning from the northern
hemisphere’s summer break, and is now encouraging librarians and their
end-users to start using the site instead of SourceOECD.  

OECD has provided its trade partners with detailed instructions on migrating
existing customers and setting up new accounts.  The process will be almost
seamless for librarians and their end-users. SourceOECD’s EasyLinks will be
automatically re-directed to the appropriate page in OECD iLibrary.

The OECD iLibrary is still being enhanced and some administrative features
such as MARC records and COUNTER usage statistics are currently being
finalised prior to deployment shortly. The site will continue to evolve as
new technology and innovations become available.  OECD welcomes ongoing
feedback from librarians and end users to continue to improve the site.
