New webinar on “AGROVOC: making research more visible across languages”

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is set to host a webinar intended to highlight FAO’s valuable multilingual controlled vocabulary, AGROVOC, and how it can impact multilingual research through AGORA. The webinar titled  “AGROVOC: making research more visible across languages” will be held on 5 December at 14:00 CET.

Research4Life recently integrated AGROVOC as a “reference source” in the AGORA collection. Therefore, this webinar will provide in-depth information about how to access and use AGROVOC through the AGORA collection and the impact it can make on multilingual research for students, researchers, or professionals looking to take advantage of AGORA's extensive resources.

Participants of this webinar will learn in-depth strategies for optimizing the value of AGROVOC through the AGORA collection, including:

• Introducing AGROVOC, the multilingual thesaurus;
• Demonstrating the importance of utilizing keywords in research;
• Indicating how to access and utilize AGROVOC;
• Explaining the value of multilingual vocabularies in research;
• And revealing how AGROVOC is useful for Research4Life and AGORA users

The webinar is intended for both prospective and present users of the Access to Global Online Research in Agriculture (AGORA) platform.
