The library's new electronic catalog can link to web information. The link is helpful both to remote users and to K-State users who would otherwise have to find a small pamphlet in a large library. This publication is also posted to the Agricola index and OCLC , a worldwide computer network of library information. Kansas State University Library is working with K-State Research and Extension to make historic Agricultural Experiment Station publications available. The information is of interest not only for historical research, but to suggest plans for sustainable agriculture, using less irrigation and chemicals than are commonly used today.
Historical publications are accessible at the web site and on CD-ROMs.
There is a great lack of knowledge of the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station. Electronic access to our publications should make Agricultural Research and Cooperative Extension material more widely used, and increase the publications' value to the people in our state, and everywhere else.
