Infos

Literature of Agricultural Research provides an exhaustive overview of the vast and rapidly expanding body of literature surrounding agriculture and its related fields. This guide addresses the challenges posed by the immense growth in agricultural publications, including journals, research reports, and other informational resources that span a wide range of formats and topics. Organized by broad subjects such as plant sciences, animal sciences, physical sciences, food and nutrition, and social sciences, the guide categorizes key reference works, including bibliographies, abstracting journals, encyclopedias, and directories, offering annotations to clarify the utility of each resource. This structured approach aims to bridge gaps in bibliographic tools, providing a much-needed roadmap for navigating the complex and overlapping landscape of agricultural research literature.

This inaugural entry in a series of bibliographic guides sponsored by the University of California represents years of meticulous work by its compilers, utilizing resources from major libraries and bibliographic tools. Emphasizing American publications while also highlighting significant international works, the guide offers a practical resource for researchers, librarians, and practitioners. By shedding light on the strengths and weaknesses of current bibliographic systems, it not only facilitates access to vital agricultural information but also inspires future advancements in bibliographic control and resource development within the agricultural research domain.
