Following our announcement last month that we are looking for interested librarians and SourceOECD users to advise us on customer needs as we develop the next version of SourceOECD, several librarians have stepped forward, but we still would like more. Group members will have access to the beta version as it develops. If you or any of your colleagues might be interested, contact Matt Brosius. New Version of SourceOECD. Work has now started on a new version of SourceOECD. As announced in our previous issue, themes will now include all types of content, including books, periodicals, statistical databases, working papers, and reference publications. The new version will also include a repository of spreadsheet files developed in conjunction with our StatLink programme. We are also working on offering MARC records, reference linking, an improved statistical browser, and most important, an improved search engine. Model Tax Convention. The 2005 edition of the Model Tax Convention: Condensed Version is now available. This print edition only includes the Articles and Commentaries as approved in July 2005. The full electronic edition, which includes Articles, Commentaries, Country Positions, Histories, Related Reports, and a listing of bilateral conventions that have used the MTC as a model, will be available for purchase and through SourceOECD very soon. Subscribers to eMTC will receive an email informing them where to go to download the new edition as soon as it is posted.
