No 335428, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: Excerpts from the Preface: This bibliography was researched and compiled by Dr. Chen Qiubo, Deputy Director of the Technico - Scientific Research Institute, South China Academy of Tropical Crops, during his year as Visiting Scholar at the National Agricultural Library (NAL), 1987-88. Dr. Chen's work is comprehensive in its coverage of Chinese publications in the NAL collections. This bibliography is published in two volumes. Volume 1 includes approximately 3,000 citations to monographic and serial titles in the collection of the National Agricultural Library and is derived from records available in the AGRICOLA database, NAL's database of over 2.6 million citations to agricultural literature, as of December 1987. Volume 2 includes 1,250 additional citations to monographic titles not in the AGRICOLA database at the time. These retrospective titles were identified in the NAL card catalog, converted into machine readable form and are now available in AGRICOLA. In addition, NAL holds more than 600 retrospective serial titles which have been omitted from this bibliography since they were not in machine readable form at the time of publication. They are listed, however, in the printed Dictionary Catalog of The National Agricultural Library, 1862 - 1965 (New York: Rowman and Littlefield, 1965). The coverage of this bibliography is selective in that it consists primarily of those publications published in Chinese or about China from the People's Republic of China, the Republic of China, Hong Kong, or Macao.
