CAB Direct

Gateway to the world’s applied life sciences

CAB Direct is CABI’s online database platform, providing a single point of access to all of your CABI database subscriptions.

The new version of CAB Direct was launched in July 2016 and libraries/institutions are finding out how it improves the literature research experience for their users!

CABI worked with development partners from across academia and industry to develop the next generation of the CAB Direct platform. Designed around the way researchers work, CAB Direct has completely new features to help you get more out of the literature, a more intuitive user experience, and has a new look and feel.
