Subject: FREE ONLINE TRIAL ACCESS to Scientific and Technical Literature

Dear All,

CGIAR & FAO staff worldwide have been granted free trial access through to 31 December, to two important electronic collections:

 

1) Over 800 Blackwell journals in Veterinary Medicine, Animal Sciences, Agriculture and Aquaculture, Economics, Finance and Accounting, Computing and Technology, Health Sciences, Law and Criminology, Life Sciences, Statistics, Medicine, Social and Behavioral Sciences and other related subjects. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/

 

2) Over 100 Emerald journals, the world's largest, most comprehensive collection (more than 50,000 full text articles) of peer-reviewed management articles and resources in the management field. http://xtra.emeraldinsight.com 

 

FAO and the CGIAR Centres also have free trial access to SCOPUS for one month!    http://www.scopus.com/scopus/home.url
Scopus is one of the largest abstract and citation databases of research literature and quality web sources, providing seamless links to full-text articles and other library resources, providing innovative tools that give an at-a-glance overview of search results and refine them to the most relevant hits.  The Scopus Citation Tracker enables researchers to easily evaluate research using citation data to gain intelligence about articles, authors, their own published work and research trends.

 

We invite you to try these resources and send your feedback on which ones you find useful to icraflibrary@cgiar.org

 

Thanks

 

Jacinta Kimwaki
