The National Agricultural Library Digital Repository (NALDR) provides access to publications either digitized by NAL or through NAL’s partnerships with other institutions (see NALDR Projects below). The majority of the publications available in the NALDR were published by the USDA. Examples include the Agriculture Information Bulletin, the Agricultural Economic Report, and the Yearbook of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A comprehensive list of full text publications is provided on the Publications - Additional Information page. The NALDR utilizes ZyLAB's ZyIMAGE system, which includes optical character recognition processing to convert images into searchable text and a Web interface to display and print/download documents. In addition to searching the NALDR Web site, you can also search for publications through the NAL Catalog (AGRICOLA). Each publication in the NALDR is linked to an AGRICOLA record (see Help for additional information on searching). The metadata (called Document/Publication Details) that is displayed with each NALDR publication was imported from the corresponding AGRICOLA record. The NALDR was made available to the public in April 2006. Publications are added on an ongoing basis--check the Spotlights section of the home page for information on new additions. This has been added to Agriculture Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
