The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) unveiled a new resource for researchers this summer: the CGIAR Virtual Library (CGVlibrary).The product of a CGIAR centerwide effort led by IFPRI's Library/Knowledge Management and Information Technology departments, the CGVlibrary is an internet gateway that allows users to search simultaneously the online libraries of CGIAR centers and more than 160 other databases.The external databases include leading electronic resources on development, agriculture, and poverty. Researchers also have access to more than 4,000 online journals.

Users can search pre-selected database groupings, organized according to particular areas of interest ("Water," "Forestry," "Genetic Resources"), or create their own database groups. Researchers can also save links to particular journals, documents, and abstracts.

The CGVlibrary can be found at http://vlibrary.cgiar.org.
