Welcome

The objective of this Caribbean Librarians for Agriculture (CLA) Blog is to highlight online information resources which support sustainable Agriculture (including Forestry, Fisheries, Rural Development and the Environment) in the Caribbean. Resources to manage online information will also be discussed. This blog is an initiative of the Agricultural Librarians Network of Trinidad and Tobago (ALINTT). It is hoped that policy makers, researchers, students, extension personnel, farmers and persons interested in agriculture will find the resources posted on the site useful. Members at this time are:

Mrs. Shamin Renwick, Librarian, Agriculture and Life Sciences Division, Main Library, The University of the West Indies (UWI), St. Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago.

Mrs. Claudette de Freitas, Information Networks Manager, Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI).

Ms. Kathryn Duncan, Information and Communication Specialist, Inter-American Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture (IICA) in Trinidad and Tobago.

CIARD RING - Access to Agricultural Reasearch for Development

The CIARD Routemap to Information Nodes and Gateways (RING)   is a global registry of web-based services that give access to any kind of information pertaining to agricultural research for development (ARD). It is the principal tool created through the CIARD initiative to allow information providers to register their services in various categories and so facilitate the discovery of sources of agriculture-related information across the world.  The RING aims to provide an infrastructure to improve the accessibility of the outputs of agricultural research and of information relevant to ARD management. The CIARD RING is a project implemented within the Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for Development ( CIARD ) initiative and is led by the Global Forum on Agricultural Research ( GFAR ).
