CAB Abstracts is a leading database for the applied life sciences, including agriculture; environmental sciences; and human health, food and nutrition.
As of January 1, 2009, CAB Abstracts includes all full text content that was previously available only with a separate subscription. As a result, over 30,000 journal articles, reports and conference papers are now available full text (in pdf format) to ISU faculty, staff and students. Please note that CAB Abstracts includes over 5 million records, so only a small percentage of these will be available full text. Nevertheless, the full text content is often not available electronically elsewhere, because CABI focuses on hard to find research.
Lists of the full text journals and conferences (as of October 2008).
ISU’s current subscription to CAB Abstracts is limited to one simultaneous user. If you have trouble accessing the database because of this, please let me know so that I can consider increasing the number of users allowed.
