AGRICOLA is an index to over 4 million citations to journal articles, books and book chapters, theses and dissertations, government and other publications related to agriculture. It contains information on materials published since 1970, including links to digital agriculture publications when available. To find a subject term for a particular topic, use the Agricola Thesaurus.

This version of Agricola is available for free from the National Agriculture Library (NAL). Books and government publications are in one database, while journal articles are in another, each of which must be searched separately. Some older government publications are available digitally through the NAL version of Agricola, while they may only be available as Microfiche in WestCat, I-Share or the other version of the index.
