Bibliographic |Time-series |Publications |Reprint | Bibliographic database: ILRI maintains a bibliographic database of over 140,000 references of documents dealing with livestock research and development in tropical developing countries. These references are locally generated or extracted from AGRIS. This database is available on the LAN at ILRI-Ethiopia and on CD-ROM at ILRI-Kenya and at ILRI's zonal sites. The references for which we have copyrights are now available for searching on this web site.
The ILRI-Ethiopia library also maintains a serials database that lists the serials holdings of both ILRI-Kenya and ILRI-Ethiopia library. Currently, the database consists of about 1100 references to reputed scientific and technical journals and other serial publications, most of which are related to Animal Agriculture.
Time-series database: This database, which is mounted on the LAN at ILRI-Kenya, provides comprehensive statistical information on livestock production and trade and human populations, with data drawn from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) AGROSTAT database and the United Nations Department of Agriculture (USDA) and other published sources. The database contains 411,287 records encompassing information from 231 countries of the world over the last 34 years.

The ILRI publications database contains official ILRI publications in full text, as well as the
bibliographical references to articles in peer reviewed journals, monographs or chapters
in monographs, and papers published in proceedings written by researchers in the context of
their work at ILRI. This database can be accessed on the lan at ILRI-Nairobi and ILRI-Ethiopia,
as well as on this website.

Reprint database: The reprint database contains a collection of reprints relevant to ILRI's programmes from journals the library does not subscribe to. The database contains 6125 records, of which about 4000 documents are actually in the library. This database is available on both ILRI campuses.
Global database of libraries and information systems for animal agriculture: ILRI has conducted a world-wide survey of institutions providing information on livestock and related subjects. The aim is to identify major institutions working in this field and establish partnerships with them for providing information support to global research on livestock. This database so far has profiles of more than 280 institutions.
Training database: This is a searchable database of all scientists from national agricultural research systems (NARS) in sub-Saharan Africa trained in centres supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) between 1975 and 1996. The full database will permit the first detailed analysis of CGIAR contribution to NARS expertise in sub-Saharan Africa. The database, which contains about 18,000 records, is published on a CD-ROM.
