. @OECD online library: how do i hate thee, let me count the ways... Oh how i hate that these publications which have been paid for by our governments are in a walled garden for subscribers. And to add insult to injury there is no search function in the library viewer

I am in complete agreement. Was aghast when I was in the bookshop in the OECD building and realised that the reports cost money, and were expensive too!

I don't mind charges for dead tree versions, but not for pdf . I wonder how much they make from physical book sales vs online subscriptions

Income from print is around 10% of all sales income, rest from digital and digital+print subs. BTW - was puzzled by your comment about search function, can you elaborate? ILibrary has a search function at top of screen, under iLibrary logo.

It’s a pleasure and thank you for commenting. I think I’ve got it now, you’re looking for a search function within our Read editions - right? Not sure if we can do this for all titles (when authors give us ‘dumb’ files) but we might for others. I’ll discuss with our geeks.
