Labordoc, the ILO Library's database, contains references and full text access to the world's literature on the world of work. It covers all aspects of work and sustainable livelihoods and the work-related aspects of economic and social development, human rights and technological change.
Much of the collection focuses on developing and transition countries, and a special effort is made to acquire material published in developing countries. There is a strong focus on empirical literature, although some material on labour economics, gender economics and welfare economics is included.
Labordoc covers all of the publications by the ILO, whether published in Geneva or in the field, since 1919 and in all languages - including non-Roman scripts.
It provides comprehensive coverage of material published by major research centres, international and regional organizations, labour administrations and non-governmental organizations, as well as providing references to articles selected regularly from over 500 journals. Approximately 500 new records are added each month.
Labordoc can be searched in English, French, and Spanish. The content of publications is indexed using the ILO Thesaurus. Users can limit searches in several ways. For example, by looking for the main subject of the document, material on particular countries or regions, by language, publications held by a particular library or by online documents only.
For help with searching, see the Labordoc Basic Search or Guided Search instructions or Ask a Librarian.
