Many of these documents are widely distributed on the web but not necessarily included in standard databases of published scholarly research.
The IGO Search includes material from the World Bank, UN Development Program (UNDP), Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), European Union, Organization of American States, the Asian Development Bank and many others.
The NGO search indexes local, regional and international NGOs from sources as diverse as AARP, Earth Watch Institute, International Crisis Group, OXFAM, the World Agricultural Forum. Sites were chosen based on their consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and the World Association of Non-Governmental Organizations (WANGO).

Often, it is the place to access (free of charge) full-text conference papers which are referenced in Harvard e-resources but not yet published.
SSRN (Social Science Research Network) is an open access repository of new scholarship in accounting, economics, finance, information systems, legal scholarship, management, marketing, negotiations and social insurance.
