About CAB Direct

Welcome to the new version of CABI's database platform, CAB Direct!

CAB Direct gives access to CABI's leading bibliographic databases in life science information - CAB Abstracts and Global Health.

This new new version offers a better experience for students and researchers through the use of the latest and most powerful search technologies and by optimizing the use of CABI's classification and indexing to improve discoverability of information.

Enhancements include:

 

• MyCABDirect – a personalised area where users can set-up email alerts and RSS feeds based on their search results; share information; and save important searches

 

• Faceted searching – users can finely filter information to fit their research needs, based on CABI's valuable indexing terms and metadata

 

• The capability to view full text at the search results level

 

• Improved user experience, through a more intuitive interface

 

• Suggestions for spelling variations incorporating terminology from CABI's Thesaurus

 

• Abstract snippet views at search results level

 

• Save searches to social book marking sites

 

• COUNTER compliant usage statistics
