File Description [top]

As one of the most comprehensive sources of U.S. agricultural and life sciences information, the AGRICOLA (AGRICultural OnLine Access) database serves as the catalog and index to the collections of the National Agricultural Library (NAL) and the research of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). AGRICOLA has been available online since 1970 and contains more than 4.1 million citations to journal articles, book chapters, monographs, theses, patents, software, audiovisual materials, and technical reports related to agriculture. The database contains thousands of records with links to online full-text documents.

AGRICOLA encompasses all aspects of agriculture and allied disciplines, including animal and veterinary sciences, entomology, plant sciences, forestry, aquaculture and fisheries, farming and farming systems, agricultural economics, extension and education, food and human nutrition, agricultural engineering and technology, and earth and environmental sciences. The NAL Agricultural Thesaurus (NALT) and Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) serve as the controlled vocabularies for indexing and cataloging records.

This extensive database has been maintained since 1970 to provide selective worldwide coverage of primary information sources in agriculture and related fields. The former File 110 is now included within File 10.

Sources [top]

Documents cataloged and indexed in the AGRICOLA database are selected from current acquisitions of NAL and cooperating institutions. More than 2,000 serial titles are reviewed for indexing. Books, pamphlets, conference proceedings, translations, book chapters, research reports, government documents, in both English and many non-English languages, are included in the database. For additional coverage of non-U.S. agricultural materials, see AGRIS INTERNATIONAL, File 203. AGRICOLA includes audio-visual and microform media, and some computer software. Specific source information is indexed in the Subfile field, which contains codes for access of USDA, State Experiment Station, Cooperative Extension Service, and other U.S. publications. Subfile codes are also useful in searching non-U.S. imprints. Past use of subfile tags for subject specific sources has varied over the life of the database.
