About Hand picked... and carefully sorted

hand picked... and carefully sorted
is the the place where the content specialists who put together  CAB Abstracts, (and many other wonderful research tools from CABI) try to highlight just some of the vast amount of research information that goes into the products that we make.

We are doing this because, to quote Bruce Sterling:

 

What's important --- increasingly important --- is the process by which you figure out what to look at. This is the beginning of the real and true economics of information. Not who owns the books, who prints the books, who has the holdings. The crux here is access, not holdings. And not even access itself, but the signposts that tell you what to access --- what to pay attention to. In the Information Economy everything is plentiful --- except attention

Hand picked... and carefully sorted is intended to be a signpost. We are using it for ourselves..and we hope that it will be useful to you as well.
