Resource guides produced by the ILO Library in Geneva provide guidance and direct links to key documents statistics and websites. http://www.ilo.org/public/english/support/lib/resource/guide.htm Topics covered include child labour, disability, gender equality, microfinance and the informal economy.
The ILO also has a number of other excellent free sites for those interested in work related issues. These include the ILO Global Job Crisis Observatory http://www.ilo.org/pls/apex/f?p=109:1:0 which is good starting point for weekly updates on the impact of the worldwide financial crisis upon employment. Also worth exploring are the links from the website which lead to economic crisis themed pages from other international organisations and charities.
http://labordoc.ilo.org/ the combined library catalogue from a network of 28 ILO libraries around the world has also been revamped. It provides links to the full text of many ILO documents back to 1919, plus a digital archive of conference proceedings. Other features include: indexing of ILO journal articles and working papers. There are also a number of pre-defined thematic searches that can be browsed by users.
