SourceOECD (to become the OECD iLibrary when a new version is launched in mid-2009) 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 form and access to OECD statistical databases in which data can be selected and downloaded as .xls, .csv, or .ivt files. SourceOECD can be bundled with the traditional print versions or purchased separately as online-only products. SourceOECD includes 17 thematic book collections (roughly 150 books a year), 19 journals, 3 reference titles, 19 OECD statistical databases and 10 IEA statistical databases. SourceOECD hosts as well 20 series of working papers.
With SourceOECD, users affiliated with subscribing institutions are able to conduct searches, retrieve listings of publications meeting the search criteria, and then choose to download selected text titles in PDF format, or selected statistical data in 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.
