FAO Library for you: New resources – FEBRUARY
Bibliographic databases and full text journals
FAO is subscribed to various bibliographic databases, like the Web of Science and CAB
abstracts, and full text journals, like Nature and Science. FAO employees in the field should
be able to access most of these resources through the FAO Security Gateway (SAG), some
should be directly accessible from your computer (through IP recognition), especially:
Nature, Africa Confidential, African Research Online, Economist Intelligence Unit and the
Oxford English Dictionary. If you encounter any issues with the SAG or your IP, please
contact the library at [email protected] and we will try to solve it as soon as possible.
To get an idea of the journals FAO is or used to be subscribed to, please browse the “E-
journal search tool”.
Please remember that you can send the bibliographical reference of any article, including
from journals we are not subscribed on, to [email protected] and we will send you
the PDFs as soon as possible.

New tools & features
FAO Library Catalogue accessible through EndNote
A new feature is added to EndNote, the citation management tool provided by (and
accessible through the menu of) the Web of Science, to search the FAO Library catalogue
from within the tool. This means that you can now add FAO library records directly to your
EndNote lists/libraries.
This feature is accessible by clicking on "Collect" and subsequently “Online search” in the
EndNote menu. Select the catalogue you are interested in from the dropdown list, e.g. FAO
Library, and connect EndNote to the selected resource. At this point you are able to search
the catalogue and import and edit records into EndNote.
Please note that from the regional office you will have to access the tool the first time
through the SAG and create an account. Once you have an account you will be able to access
it from outside the SAG. If you encounter any problems with accessing Endnote or the Web
of Science, please contact [email protected] .
New books
On a montly basis, the FAO Library receives new books, often in print, but always more often
in digital form. They are listed on the New Books page of the Library website. For the
