2006 ILO's Recommendation:
“emphasized that full text PDF documents locked to external users
should be hidden, or a mechanism for access clearly identified”
“recommended that the INIS Secretariat should contact countries which
restricted their NCL supply to see if they can provide NCL document delivery
services and, if they can, special information about this service should be
added to the INIS database”
“recommended that the INIS Secretariat will contact all countries which
did not reply to INIS Technical Note 166 to clarify the NCL access issue
for their country”
“recommended that the INIS Secretariat give priority first to
enhance access to full text via identifiers and second, to
implement an export function of citations in standard formats”
