The basic search box finds your term in several fields, and then you can limit the results to books, papers, statistics, etc. If your subject is a phrase, be sure to use quotation marks: water policies<\/em> will give different results from \u201cwater policies.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 The default for the Advanced Search is to look for your term in all fields, so limit to Title and Abstract to get a manageable number of hits.<\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to see the basics of searching OECD iLibrary<\/em> or try our Guide on the Side with this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why you should know this database:<\/strong> The statistical databases in OECD iLibrary<\/em> cover national accounts, economic indicators, trade, employment, migration, education, energy, health, development and innovation in both member and non-member countries.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n How this will help students:<\/strong>\u00a0Students searching for an international research topic can browse the OECD iLibrary<\/em> Theme<\/strong> or Country<\/strong> menus for issues in Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia-Pacific.\u00a0 The organization covers economic and social trends, from the labor force in persistently poor areas to the innovation and growth of the Internet economy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cost:<\/strong> Paid by the Libraries annually.<\/p>\n ——————————<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Database of the Week comes to you from the Roland G.
