Seminar with CLARIVATE, WEB OF SCIENCE and CABI representative at the Agricultural University - Plovdiv

On May 29, 2024, the Library of the Agricultural University of Plovdiv hosted a seminar with Mr. Joe Tag, Regional Sales Manager for Central and Eastern Europe at the international database CABI. The meeting was held in cooperation with Rumyana Sokolova and Veneta Aleksandrova, representatives of Web of Science for Bulgaria.

Mr. Tag introduced the participants to the new features and resources of the CABI Digital Library, including CAB Abstracts, Global Health, CABI Compendium, Descriptions of Fungi and Bacteria, Distribution Maps of Plant Diseases, and CABI eBooks.

Particular interest and discussion were sparked by the CABI CASES feature – an invaluable resource that supports teaching and learning outcomes, offering researchers at the Agricultural University of Plovdiv the opportunity to make full use of this innovative tool. The number of records by Bulgarian researchers indexed in CABI platforms now exceeds 75,000.

A table presentation also showcased numerous Bulgarian journals indexed in CABI, which, as a result, are included in Clarivate’s Web of Science All Databases.

The long-standing partnership between the Agricultural University of Plovdiv and CABI continues to develop, with an agreement reached for remote access to CABI resources for students and faculty – a significant step toward facilitating the use of specialized academic literature beyond the university campus.
