Notes
working on tropical agriculture plan to start using CD-ROM technology in the near future. CABI has already developed a prototype containing 220,000 bibliographic abstracts that can be directly accessed by an IBM or DEC computer. The FAO has also produced a CD-ROM containing AGRIS data. Other related institutions currently working with CD-ROM include the National Agricultural Library (USA) and the CGIAR which plans to produce a disc featuring the many publications of its thirteen centres. The Canadian International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the US Agency for International Aid (AID), and the World Bank have also taken steps to promote the use of this new technology.
