Consultation Held with SourceOECD Advisory Group After a brief introduction by Toby Green, Head of Marketing at OECD Publishing, a lively discussion ensued covering such topics as presentation of statistics, speed of the service, what to put on the home page, linking, citation of information found on SourceOECD, MARC records, site navigation, and archiving. OECD wishes to thank all the participants for their valuable insights and looks forward to speaking with librarians from the other regions in the near future and to a new round of consultations early next year.

Following last month's announcement that the July 2005 edition of the Condensed Version is available in English, we are now pleased to announce that the July 2005 Electronic Version (eMTC) is now also available in English via the Online Bookshop, SourceOECD, and Trade Partners.

The update to the Two-Volume Loose leaf Version and a French version of the eMTC will come out early in 2006. Themes on SourceOECD.
