FOODnetBASE is a collection of electronic books and reference sources in food science, food technology and nutrition. It covers a wide spectrum of food industry topics ranging from safety regulations and quality assurance to packaging, biotechnology and product development and includes publications from CRC Press, Marcel Dekker and Woodhead. FOODnetBase curently consists of 183 titles.
Titles can be browsed from the front page or there is a search box is in the top left hand corner. You need to use a Boolean "AND" if you are searching on more than one term - e.g. campylobacter AND gastroenteritis. Two or more words entered as a string without an intervening AND are searched for as a phrase - e.g. "hazard identification". Navigation to your search results is reasonably intuitive and the individual chapters load as PDF files which can be saved. A disadvantage of FOODnetBASE is that the PDFs are not paginated which may make documents difficult to cite. Please get in touch with us if you are struggling with any of its features.
If you are opening a title from the main list click on the Read It Online! link. In due course individual titles will be added to the Library catalogue so that the electronic books are fully integrated into the Library's collection.
