You may have an easier time accessing agricultural information from the federal government thanks to a new free search engine created by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Earlier this year, the National Agricultural Library (NAL) unveiled PubAg, a user-friendly search engine that gives the public enhanced access to research published by USDA scientists.
PubAg, which is FREE to access, enables users to search and access over 40,000 full-text scientific journal articles from 1997 to 2014. The search engine was designed with the general public in mind and is easy to use and navigate.
Subject areas covered within PubAg’s database include: nutrition, food safety and quality, animal and crop production and protection, natural resources, sustainable agricultural systems, rural development, agricultural economic and policy issues, agricultural imports and exports, agricultural statistics, extension education, and more.
