Finding data and reports from the UN and the OECD

Writing about web page https://pugwash.lib.warwick.ac.uk/search~S1?/vEconomics/veconomics/1%2C3%2C62%2CB/exact&FF=veconomics+all+databases&1%2C37%2C

If you are looking for reports, journal articles or data published by the United Nations or the OECD, you may find it better to log on to UN iLibrary and/or OECD iLibrary though the Library website and the Databases list. Although both organisations make a lot of material available free on their websites, many OECD publications are only available as read-only files on the website, whereas the database provides printing and downloading options. The databases also make it easier to search specifically for research material, as they have very good search engines - this will save you a lot of time!

UN iLibrary provides access to data on Sustainable Development Goals and more - select Statistics to find the datasets.

OECD iLibraryprovide access to a lot of their data as well as reports and journals - the only exception is data from the International Energy Agency, which we can access free of charge from the UK Data Service.

OECD iLibrary new look!

Writing about web page http://webcat.warwick.ac.uk/record=e1000580~S1

If you use "Library Search" to find individual reports published by the OECD, you may not find them there, but we have access to electronic versions which you can save or download free of charge. To do this, log on to OECD iLibrary from the Library home page, and the link to Databases. There is also a lot of data to download, either in ready-made tables or in a customisable format.

If you have used this database before, have another look - the platform has been updated in a new format, which I hope you will find easier to use. You can still select the Advanced Search option, from a link near the top of page - this is good if you want to search through all the content by specific keywords. You can then set the menu to search for terms in the abstract or summary of each item, which is a good way to reduce the clutter!
