AGRICOLA Produced by the National Agricultural Library, AGRICOLA provided worldwide coverage of agriculture from 1970 through 2006. Beginning in 2007, because of reduced resources, the National Agricultural Library re-scoped the database, reducing coverage, indexing for AGRICOLA only publications that meet at least one of the following criteria: be a U.S. Department of Agriculture publication, or contain articles or chapters authored by USDA personnel; support NALs Information Centers; contain articles or chapters on core agricultural topics, written in the English language; not be indexed by any other abstracting and indexing service. AGRICOLA contains over 3.7 million citations to journal articles, monographs, pamphlets, microforms, research reports, theses, patents, software, audio-visual materials, government documents and technical reports.
