The renowned CAB ABSTRACTS^®, compiled by CABI Publishing, is now available on EBSCOhost^®, providing an invaluable resource for researchers in the field of applied life sciences.

CAB ABSTRACTS provides international coverage of the significant research and development literature in the fields of agriculture, forestry, aspects of human health, human nutrition, animal health and the management and conservation of natural resources. Over four million records have been added to the database since its computerization in 1973. It includes abstracts and indexing for journals, serial publications, conference proceedings, books, theses, annual reports and patents and standards.

In addition to the usual multiple search options available on EBSCOhost, CAB ABSTRACTS will offer the CAB Thesaurus, a controlled list of subject terms provided by CABI Publishing; and browsable publication and author authority files.

With its inclusion in the growing collection of EBSCO secondary databases, CAB ABSTRACTS joins other premier life sciences databases available on EBSCOhost such as AGRICOLA, BasicBIOSIS, and Biological Abstracts^®. All of these database users can take advantage of EBSCO SmartLinks™ and CustomLinks™, available at no additional charge with any EBSCO database subscription. These features allow searchers to link instantly from a citation in the result list to the corresponding full text in other EBSCO databases or electronic journals to which the library subscribes, as well as to the library's OPAC, online ILL forms or services, and several document delivery services.
