Many states produce documents that are similar to soil surveys.
These documents may range from general soil texts to soil maps to supplemental data for previously completed soil surveys. To locate related material, conduct a keyword search in PantherCat. However, these types of publications may be more difficult to locate. To locate soil information about an individual country use the PantherCat keyword search. If very little information is available at Golda Meir Library, WorldCat is an alternative that will allow keyword searching of materials available in other libraries.
