This resource of the National Agricultural Library is a bibliographic database consisting of literature citations for journal articles, monographs, serials, theses, patents, proceedings, audiovisual materials, software, computer files, and technical reports relating to all aspects of agriculture since 1965. There is no charge for this service unless the search requires more than one hour, in which case there is a cost-recovery fee. NAL receives over 25,000 journals, and 1,410 titles are indexed into the database. Some titles are indexed comprehensively, some selectively, and both categories include some foreign language publications. The Agris International database serves as a comprehensive inventory of worldwide agricultural literature that reflects research results, food production, and rural development.
Subject coverage focuses on many topics.
