OnLine Access)

AGRICOLA• Is the largest bibliographic database of agricultural
knowledge in the world.• Contains about 5 million records.• Made up of two databases:
– Citations for journal articles, book chapters, proceedings, etc. (75%)
– Bibliographic records and holdings for NAL’s print and digital collections of books, audiovisuals, serials, and other materials. (25%)

engine for public access to citations for peer-reviewed agricultural journal articles with access to the article’s full-text.– Increased production to 30,000 new articles per
month.– Moved from human indexing to automatic machine
index.– Transitioned from using MARC21 to more flexible
MODS. 16
