The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) recently launched the CGIAR Virtual Library, an internet gateway allowing users to search the online libraries of the CGIAR centres as well as more than 160 outside databases. It provides access to over 4,000 e-journals as well as full-text documents, abstracts and references from pre-selected databases that are grouped according to information type (e.g. CGIAR libraries, reference books, news) or subject (e.g. fish, forestry, genetic resources, water) or database groupings created by the user. See http://vlibrary.cgiar.org or contact [email protected] for more information.
