Extractions: alijk@montana.edu With the pace of the world doing anything but slowing down, users want to design comprehensive searches quickly. Librarians need to know which databases cover agricultural literature completely to provide the best assistance available to users. There are many life sciences databases covering some or most agricultural literature. The choices can be overwhelming for users if many are available. If few databases are available, knowing which one will give the best results is important. From a collection development viewpoint, knowing the database with the most comprehensive coverage of agriculture journals may provide cost savings in the future. With tight budgets now the norm, one must consider which database gives the best agriculture journal coverage for budget reduction scenarios. There is a small body of literature indicating which serials are relevant in the agriculture sub-disciplines such as Dote and Letnes' ( ) agricultural economics study and Kelsey and Diamond's ( ) forestry study. Another article focuses on the single subject of sustainable agriculture (

Extractions: :This site is named after Jefferson's belief in agrarian ideology, also called agricultural exceptionalism. This is a belief that producing food is both a necessity for a civilization and a superior way of life. Thomas Jefferson was a leading agrarian in the U.S. and he argued that a nation of family farmers was the best guarantee of democracy. According to Jefferson, agriculture is the most basic and important industry, rural life is superior to urban life, and having self-sufficient family farmers was a guarantee of democracy using the same technology, thousands of family farms, each of roughly equal size, would have common interests in preserving private property and democracy: -quoted from the coursework of Phillip L. Martin, author of Promises to Keep Although the structure and demographic of the United States has rapidly steered away from an emphasis on producing food under this self-sustained family farm ideal Jefferson talks about, the system is still something to strive toward. The family unit is integral to shaping the minds of the children who are tomorrow's adults, a self-sufficient nuclear family is a child's first insight into society. The family is a microcosm of the real world. The coping mechanisms and support structure that develop in the family is a very important beginning, and continuance of the future generation. In a sense it is the guarantee of democracy Jefferson was talking about. The fate of future leaders is in the hands of parents.
