Pretty is as Pretty does!

In the NMTC portion of GALILEO there are two links to Agricola information. The Ebsco version and the USDA : National Agricultural Library version.

Both are an access point to the index of materials, neither offer the full text.

But to my eyes the USDA site is "prettier". Does beauty matter when doing research? It's the information that counts. It takes time and effort (and money) to create a "pretty" web site or database. You have an option on the NMTC GALILEO portion- try them both- see which one you prefer.

Get the password for home use of GALILEO from your Georgia librarian.
