Access principles
Core Data freely available to all via Statistics Portal and SourceOECD
Access to complete databases granted to all requesting individuals on a time-limited basis
Access to complete databases and e-books should be affordable for institutions
Access for those who pay supported by training and other added-value services
Access should be as local to users as possible, not just from OECD’s own websites
