CAB eBooks Goes Live
CAB International’s (CABI) book collection can now be purchased digitally with the launch of CAB eBooks (www.cabi.org/cabebooks). By developing its own web-based portal, CABI can now provide customers with digital copies of its publications dating from 2000 to 2008. More than 140 titles in the applied life sciences are now available in the front-file collection (2005–2008), growing to 200 titles by the end of 2008. An additional 230 titles are also available in the archive collection (2000–2004).The front-file collection can be purchased as a yearly subscription with unlimited user access. The subscription includes constant updates with the latest CABI titles. The archive collection is available as a one-off purchase, providing research institutions with an opportunity to invest in valuable backlist titles. CAB eBooks are also available for download at MyiLibrary, Dawson Books, and ebrary. In addition, CAB eBooks is fully integrated with CAB Abstracts, the online bibliographic database. Each chapter is indexed and abstracted individually to ensure that specific slices of information can be easily retrieved. The ebooks are available as a complete package or in six separate subject collections: agriculture; animal and veterinary sciences; environmental sciences; human health, food, and nutrition; leisure and tourism; and plant sciences. CABI is a not-for-profit organization that provides information and applies scientific expertise to solve agricultural and environmental problems worldwide. Its mission and direction are influenced by its 44 member countries that help guide the activities undertaken as a business. Source: CAB International
