AGRICOLA (AGRICultural OnLine Access) serves as the catalog and index to the collections of the National Agricultural Library, as well as a primary public source for world-wide access to agricultural information. The database covers materials in all formats and periods, including printed works from as far back as the 15th century. The records describe publications and resources encompassing all aspects of agriculture and allied disciplines, including animal and veterinary sciences, entomology, plant sciences, forestry, aquaculture and fisheries, farming and farming systems, agricultural economics, extension and education, food and human nutrition, and earth and environmental sciences. Although the NAL Catalog (AGRICOLA) does not contain the text of the materials it cites, thousands of its records are linked to full-text documents online, with new links added daily. ...

The AGRIS initiative was set up by the FAO in the 70s and created a worldwide coooperation for sharing access to agricultural science and technology information. Based on available technologies, AGRIS was initially collecting bibliographic references for a central database. However, since the advent of the Internet in the late 90s AGRIS has become the brand name for a network of centres, which are promoting the exchange of agricultural science and technology information through the use of common standards and methodologies. The AGRIS open archives and bibliographical databases cover the many aspects of agriculture, including forestry, animal husbandry, aquatic sciences and fisheries, and human nutrition, extension literature from over 100 participating countries. Material includes unique grey literature such as unpublished scientific and technical reports, theses, conference papers, government publications, and more. ... [Information of the supplier]
AlgaeBase is a database of information on algae that includes terrestrial, marine and freshwater organisms. At present, the data for the marine algae, particularly seaweeds, are the most complete. Initially set up in 1996 as an attempt to list all the known species of seaweeds in the world and their nomenclatural authorities, it has been expanded to include other sources (literature references) nomenclatural information (including types), synonyms (often annotated), pictures (over 1,000, mainly seaweeds), and common names (over 2,500). ...

Our objective is to provide free access for all scientists to the old zoological literature, particularly to those important publications where name-bearing zoological taxa were originally described. The literature is digitized in image format by the SUB Göttingen (our university library). In a first 2-year period (2003-2005) financed by the DFG we have digitized nearly all taxonomically relevant zoological literature from the beginnings until 1770 (about 400 works). Only some 5 % of the literature is not present in Göttingen and we are currently trying to obtain some works from other libraries. In a second 2-year-period we will try to cover the period from 1770 to 1800. Monographic works and journal articles shall both be digitized. The AnimalBase database is primarily established to link the old literature with the names of the animals described therein. We have continuously gone through the old works, from 1757 onwards, and entered all correctly described new animal names (genera and species taxa) by hand according to a standard established by our working group. (...) AnimalBase is a service provided by the University of Göttingen, Germany. Our work is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG. This page is under construction and we apologize for things not yet working perfectly. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]

Mit der Zeitschrift für Mykologie, in der deutschsprachige Artikel publiziert werden, erstrebt die DGfM (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Mykologie) eine auf den deutschsprachigen Raum zentrierte Vermittlung mykologischen und pilzkundlichen Wissens. Das Journal Mycological Progress veröffentlicht wissenschaftliche Beiträge in Englisch und dient damit eher dem internationalen Wissenstransfer. Der Zeitschrift für Mykologie sind die DGfM-Mitteilungen beigeschlossen. Sie konzentrieren sich als vereinsbezogenes Publikationsorgan auf vereinsinterne Mitteilungen, Bekanntgabe von Terminen und Vorstandsbeschlüssen, interessante Kurzmeldungen und Mitteilungen bezüglich Tätigkeit von Pilzsachverständigen. Die Serie Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für Mykologie ist hauptsächlich längeren Beiträgen vorbehalten. Die DGfM hat gemeinsam mit dem Landesgesundheitsamt Mecklenburg-Vorpommern einen Leitfaden für Pilzsachverständige herausgebracht. Mit Unterstützung der DGfM wurde von Mitgliedern der pilzkundlichen Vereine und Arbeitsgemeinschaften Augsburg, München und Ulm eine Lehrposterserie über Pilze entwickelt. ...
