The IRRI Library arranged for a month long free trial access to CAB electronic books. From July 28 up to August 30, 2008, all CGIAR Center staff can read from their desktop the full text of 140 e-books in all subject suites of CAB’s e-book collection. The subject collections included are:
Animal and Veterinary Sciences
Human, Food and Nutrition Sciences
Plant Sciences
Leisure and Tourism
Environmental Sciences
The ebooks may be read via the CGVlibrary or directly at www.cabi.org/cabebooks or thru CAB Abstracts, to which the centers have a joint subscription.
