English abstract

The annual budget of the OECD is funded by contributions from the 30 member countries. The size of the OECD budget as well as its programme of work are determined on a two-yearly basis by member countries represented in the OECD's governing Council. The OECD's Centre for Information and Documentation (CDI), part of the Information Management Services Division, must manage increasing demand for information within its budgetary allocation. With academic journals rising in price each year above the rate of inflation, the CDI is moving more and more towards electronic versions of journals and subscribing to publishers' complete catalogues which are being made available on the Internet. These so-called "big deals" can be a cost-effective method of offering online access to thousands of periodical articles to the whole of the OECD. Consortia often permit a stronger collective position for member libraries when negotiating access prices with publishers. The CDI is a member of a French consortium of academic and research libraries allowing it to benefit from lower prices than if it negotiated with publishers as a single client. Care must be taken, though, to ensure that the content of these electronic catalogues is relevant to the Organisation's work. In addition to these electronic publisher catalogues, open access archives can provide a valuable source of resource material freely available to researchers
