Users whose institutions subscribe to SourceOECD and provide an IP address or range will be allowed free access to all OECD content covered under their subscription. Libraries will generally link from their web site to the SourceOECD portal page . Libraries will also eventually be able to link from entries in their online catalog directly to the content on the SourceOECD site. Users at subscribing institutions will be able to access SourceOECD materials through the ingenta search engine or though, for example, Ebsco Online, if that one is preferred. The SourceOECD portal page allows easy searching across OECD content.
Libraries can also get access through the main ingenta portal .
Users can do a key word search across all of ingenta's content or limit the search to specific journals, publishers, or subject areas. The enhanced search option enables users to search within a specific journal or subject group of monographs. Because ingenta is a journals-based system, OECD has divided its monographs into a series of themes, each of which is treated within ingenta as though it were a journal. This enables users to search for monographs within a theme. The PDF files can only be download by subscribers.
