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. 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
