If you caught our blog post back in October then you`ll know that along with our colleagues at Cornell University`s Mann Library, we`ve spent a busy year adding new titles to AGORA

283 new titles in the first half of 2015 alone were added, and these came from major publishers -  Taylor and Francis, Science Research Publishing, Hindawi Publishing Corporation, BioOne, Sage Publishing, Oxford University Press and Springer, to name a few.

The second half of the year continued apace with 150 new e-books added from July to now. These were all new books, published last year by Elsevier and John Wiley & Sons.

 Meanwhile, our selection of e-journals is growing exponentially, with 1000 new titles added in the last six months. The vast majority of these were Directory of Open Journals (DOAJ) - 780 with an assigned subject of “Agriculture” were added in December 2015, and we’ll be adding more DOAJ journals automatically on a regular basis. 

 A further 220 of the journals came from publishers like Elsevier, John Wiley & Sons, Oxford University Press, Sage Publications, and Taylor & Francis.

 We’ve increased academic papers too, with 400 agricultural-related documents from Oxfam now in the database, added in October 2015.

 2016 is shaping up to be just as productive. Expect to discover around 200 new e-books and 300 new e-journals going forward.  

 Don’t forget that you can access this wealth of resources quickly and easily through AGORA’s Summon search engine.
