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. The database encompasses all aspects of agriculture and allied disciplines, including animal and veterinary sciences (breeding, dairy science, feed science), entomology, plant sciences, pesticides, biotechnology, microbiology, ecology, horticulture, hydrology, hydroponics, water quality, forestry, aquaculture and fisheries, farming and farming systems, agricultural economics, agricultural engineering, food science, human nutrition, home economics, rural sociology and earth and environmental sciences. The print equivalent, Bibliography of Agriculture (1942  1969) is available in the Life Sciences Library. 1970 - present Partial

"In marine biotechnology, molecular biology and molecular genetics are applied specifically to marine and aquatic organisms. The field holds great promise - in increased production of seafood, in the development of new therapeutic drugs, in the engineering of microbes that digest and remove environmental and marine pollutants, and in launching myriad ventures having immense economic benefit. An ever-increasing number of researchers are turning their investigations to the sea and its organisms. And ASFA Marine Biotechnology Abstracts - now part of the Cambridge Biotechnology Research Series - is the one database that assembles the findings from these diverse investigations in a single source. The database also features coverage of United States patents. The findings and practical applications summarized in this database will benefit all researchers and managers concerned with the science, technology, and management of marine environments.
