A workshop on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development iLibrary, one of the most comprehensive online resources on the world economy, society, education and the environment, will be held Tuesday, Sept. 18, from noon-1:30 p.m. in the Peter Graham Scholarly Commons at Bird Library.

Sponsored by Syracuse University Library, the workshop will be conducted by a training officer from OECD’s Washington, D.C., center.

The OECD is one of the world’s largest publishers in the fields of economics and public policy. With its international focus, it has been a reliable source of comparable statistics and economic and social data for more than 50 years. In addition to data collection, the OECD monitors trends, analyzes and forecasts economic developments, and researches social changes or evolving patterns in trade, environment, agriculture, technology, taxation and more.

Information will also be available on OECD’s undergraduate Student Ambassador Program. Light refreshments will be provided.
