OECD iLibrary (formerly SourceOECD, which will continue to be available until all required functionalities on the iLibrary are available) is the collective brand name for OECD Publishing's online services. These online services include access to OECD textual publications - includes the publications of the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), the International Transport Forum (ITF) - in PDF or HTML form and access to OECD statistical databases in which data can be selected and downloaded in HTML, XLS or CSV formats. OECD iLibrary can be bundled with the traditional print versions or purchased separately as online-only products. OECD iLibrary includes 17 thematic book collections (roughly 50 books a year), 14 journals, 24 Working Paper Series, and 22 OECD statistical databases.
With OECD iLibrary, users affiliated with subscribing institutions are able to conduct searches, retrieve listings of publications meeting the search criteria, and then choose to view selected text titles in PDF or HTML formats, or selected statistical data in web, CSV, or spreadsheet format. In addition, if they are at an institution that continues to receive print versions, they can also obtain the print copy at their library. Access is available for titles published from January 1998 onwards. Access is controlled by IP address/range.
