AgEcon Search: Research in Agricultural Economics–Working Papers on the Internet

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the building of a full text database of working papers produced by agricultural economics departments in U.S. universities. The authors propose to collect, index, and publish these papers on the Internet (WWW/GOPHER), making them searchable and immediately available for electronic transfer to the computer of any researcher requesting them.

Forestry databases on the Internet

ABSTRACT The Forestry Library of the University of Minnesota produces four bibliographic databases that are mounted on a Gopher server and are available to researchers over the Internet. The four databases are Social Sciences in Forestry; Urban Forestry; Tropical Forest Conservation and Development; and Trail Planning, Construction, and Maintenance. The four databases cover subjects which, because of their interdisciplinary nature and pattern of publication, tend to receive poor coverage in the standard forestry databases. These databases reflect the collections of the University of Minnesota.
