Dear IMF eLibrary Subscriber,
We are pleased to announce some recent additions to the
already impressive set of tools available to IMF eLibrary subscribers:
- Annotations – users with personalized accounts can now
easily annotate passages of text from IMF publications and share them with
other users of the IMF eLibrary. We envisage this tool facilitating
discussion and stimulating debate on the fascinating research the IMF
produces on topics such as financial crises, macroprudential policy, and
inequality.
- Microsites – the volume of content in the IMF eLibrary
is vast! To assist our users in pinpointing the most relevant
information more quickly, we have put together a selection of subject and
country-based microsites. Simply click on the "Subject" and
"Country" links at the top of the IMF eLibrary homepage to access curated
content including publications, data, and video.
- Suggested links – the next time you perform a search in
the IMF eLibrary you may find a new feature called "Suggested links"
appearing at the top of your search results. We have made some
improvements to search so the most relevant results appear first.
- "Single Sign On" (SSO) – this feature
seamlessly enables navigation between IMF publications, data, and
AREAER. SSO makes it easier to create your own personalized space
within the IMF eLibrary for saving searches, capturing content for use in
custom book creation, and accessing the additional tools which
personalization unlocks.
In the next two months we will be rolling out plenty more
useful features including updated tutorial videos, improved metadata with
additional country and topic information, Crossref-linked citations, related
search results, and search results from other publishers such as the ILO and
ADB.
Specifically for the librarian community, please look for
additional access and self-service option over the next few months and easier
access to COUNTER compliant reports.
We trust you are enjoying your subscription to the IMF eLibrary and are finding plenty of value in the 14,000+ publications, IMF Statistical databases, the Annual Report on Exchange Arrangements & Exchange Restrictions (AREAER) database, and helpful tools and features.
Thank you for your continued support.
