AGRICultural OnLine Access (AGRICOLA)

AGRICOLA (AGRICultural OnLine Access) is an extensive bibliographic database consisting of records for literature citations of journal articles, monographs, theses, patents, translations, microforms, audiovisuals, software, and technical reports. Available since 1970, AGRICOLA serves as a document locator and bibliographic access and control system for the National Agricultural Library (NAL) collection, but since 1984 the database has also included some records produced by cooperating institutions for documents not held by NAL. AGRICOLA records are used to produce the printed Bibliography of Agriculture, and various bibliographic series and other products of NAL. This extensive database has been maintained since 1970 to provide selective worldwide coverage of primary information sources in agriculture and related fields. Since 1985, the CAB Thesaurus has been utilized to select controlled vocabulary terms for subject indexing. Library of Congress Subject Headings are used as controlled vocabulary for cataloging records. The former File 110 is now included within File 10.
