EMU DSpace now indexed in AGRIS

Since 1974, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has provided support to its member countries to make their research outputs visible and accessible through the International System for Agricultural Science and Technology (AGRIS); one of the most comprehensive search engines in food and agricultural scientific literature providing free access to bibliographic records in 90 different languages.

Today the AGRIS collection is indexing 13 417 430 bibliographic references.

AGRIS is currently indexing books, journal articles, monographs, book chapters, datasets and grey literature – including unpublished scientific and technical reports, theses, dissertations and conference papers in the area of food and agriculture, but does not store the full text articles. However, AGRIS includes available links via a clickable icon next to ‘Access the full text’; displayed on the right side of the screen on the description of the resource page.

 

The Estonian University of Life Sciences Library became the official entry center of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO AGRIS / CARIS) in Estonia in 1993, and since 2000 the library has been performing the functions of the FAO deposit library.

From June 2021, all the EMU DSpace content will be indexed in AGRIS with links to full texts.

Based to innovations in the AGRS infrastructure, data is collected automatically every three months.
