Octave
 
  Database of Prospective Works
     
Futuribles International grants its members access to its database of books, reports, articles, and studies. References are selected based on their prospective nature. You can also be updated on new releases in the field and access bibliographies on diverse subjects.
     
  A unique tool in the French language, OCTAVE offers you:

An international collection of prospective studies (books, articles, studies, conference reports...)

More than 4,000 documents processed since 1996

Each document has a bibliography and an abstract (around 1,500 characters) that describes its content and main ideas.

References are indexed with the OCDE international thesaurus adapted to the field of foresight, which allows for refined search capabilities. You could, for example, search for all documents that relate to the environment, or narrow the search results by looking for “natural resources,” or to be even more specific, “energy resources.”
