and the remaining ten percent describe monographs, series, microforms,
audiovisuals, maps, and other types of materials. Together they provide
worldwide coverage of the agricultural literature. In addition, AGRICOLA
contains subfiles of related bibliographic citations that have been prepared
by sources other than the National Agricultural Library, for example,
the Food and Nutrition Information Center (FNIC)." No full text.
Biological
and Agricultural Index (1983-present)

of the AGELINE records are obtained from journals, with the rest from
book chapters, monographs, reports, and audiovisuals." No full text.
Biological
Abstracts (1985-present)
".provides informative abstracts, in English, of current research reported
in the biological and medical literature; approximately 9,000 life sciences
research journals worldwide are monitored for inclusion.No full text.
Science Citation Index
(1980-present)
Covers over 3,300 international scientific and technical journals in over
160 disciplines. What makes this database unique is that, in addition
to conventional author/subject searching, it includes cited reference
searching, which enables you to take a known, relevant paper and uncover
other, later papers that cite it. No full text.
Health and Psychosocial
Instruments (HaPI) (1985-present)
"...provides ready access to information on measurement instruments
(i.e., questionnaires, interview schedules, checklists, index measures,
coding schemes/manuals, rating scales, projective techniques, vignettes/scenarios,
tests) in the health fields, psychosocial sciences, organizational behavior,
and library and information science." The PS (Primary Source) code
indicates that the instrument was developed by the author(s) of the cited
article. A PS code is also used to indicate that an existing instrument
has been revised for the cited article. The SS (Secondary Source) code
indicates that the instrument was not developed by the author(s) of the
cited article. Some of the instruments referenced are only available
from commercial sources (some are available for purchase from BMDS, the
company that creates HaPI; in that case, order information will included
in the abstract), but others are published in cited articles. Limiting
a search by the PS code (see above) is the most efficient way to
search for the the instrument itself.
