AGRIS Database: An experience with CAZRI Scientists

Abstract

65-76Evaluates the AGRIS database through a study and training conducted at Dr. Raheja Library. CAZRI, Jodhpur for the agricultural scientists. The paper provides an extensive manual prepared for the users which is user-friendly and self-explanatory. Study reveals that the present coverage of abstracted references is very less (15- 20%) in the AGRIS and hence does not fulfill the complete requirements of agricultural scientists. Scientists feel that AGRIS should provide more abstracts. Suggestions have also been made to procure CAB CDs instead of AGRIS-CDs
