Planting, growing, etc

There is a resource that we added to GALILEO, National Agricultural Library. The NAL catalog lets you know what is available. Materials must be borrowed through the NMTC library (and there is a fee). The NAL site includes some free web sites.

"The National Agricultural Library is one of four national libraries of the United States, with locations in Beltsville, Maryland and Washington, D.C. It houses one of the world's largest and most accessible agricultural information collections and serves as the nexus for a national network of state land-grant and U.S. Department of Agriculture field libraries. In fiscal year 2005 (Oct 2004 through Sept 2005) NAL delivered more than 80 million direct customer service transactions."

We can use the titles they suggest to search WorldCat and see if there are other libraries that hold these items. We might be able to borrow the item for free!

The password for home use of GALILEO is available to the citizens of Georgia from your librarian. Some resources noted in this BLOG are only available to NMTC patrons.
