learn about the reasons for cancelling their subscriptions to the Database,
and to inform the INIS Secretariat on their findings.
The INIS Secretariat will provide the ILOs with the contact information of those
subscribers”
“commended the enhancements of the INIS DB on CD/DVD-ROM and asked
The INIS Secretariat to implement the main features developed for the INIS Database
on the Internet, in particular access to full text and speedy delivery of the monthly
updates“

“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 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”
