I am currently working on an update of my guide described below. I am also in
the process of gathering information for a book about electronic information
resources in agriculture. In order to accomplish these two tasks I am
surveying PACS-L and LIBRARY lists subscribers. If you have a collection at
all related to agriculture AND your catalog is available via the internet
and/or dialup please fill out the survey and send back to me, NOT TO THE LIST.
Thanks,
