Paris -24th June 2011 – OECD iLibrary now provides usage statistics
according to COUNTER standards, plus MARC records for all subscribers.
OECD is pleased to announce that it now provides reliable standardized usage
reports for ALL content on OECD iLibrary (www.oecd-ilibrary.org). The
detailed usage statistics are provided for full-text downloads by title and
month. This includes all content in PDF, HTML, XLS and Data downloads, ePub
will be added shortly.
The iLibrary usage reports cover all content whether freely accessible or
behind access controls. There is no duplication in the usage reported as the
usage of each publication or dataset is reported separately in one of three
reports dependent on the nature of the content:
• Book Report 1
• Book Report 2
• Journal Report 1
Toby Green, Head of OECD Publishing, said “We know how important usage data
is to libraries and providing it in accordance with COUNTER standards is the
only accurate way in which to make usage comparable with other resources.
The biggest challenge for us was to fit all our diverse content into the
COUNTER-compliant reports and we dealt with COUNTER directly to clarify some
uncertain cases. Now that this process is complete we are very pleased to
offer this important service to our customers.”
OECD has also launched MARC Records initially for the books and serials in
OECD iLibrary, available for all subscribers to download. MARC records are
provided in MARC21 XML format according to U.S. Library of Congress
specifications, and those for OECD journals and data products are scheduled
for later this year.
OECD iLibrary is the global knowledge base for OECD’s data and analysis. It
contains all books and papers published since 1998, as well as a vast
collection of statistics, with data going back to the 1960s and more than 80
countries covered. It provides integrated search results, showing all
available file formats and languages, as well as links to previous editions.
As one of the most comprehensive online resources on the world economy,
society, education and environment, OECD iLibrary is a powerful tool for
people working at academic institutions, in the private sector and at
governmental and non-governmental organisations.
