Additional Resources

Databases

In addition to Academic Search Premier and Web of Science, here are a few more useful databases to find scholarly articles on dairy science:

• Agricola (Ebsco)
  • Over 4.8 million citations to journal articles, monographs and theses
• CAB Direct
  • Subjects covered include animal science, crop protection and plant science
• AGRIS
  • AGRIS is an international cooperative system that provides citations to journal literature, theses and reports

Journals

The library subscribes to the following diary science journals, most of which are online, including:

• Animal Feed Science and Technology
• Animal Genetics
• Applied Animal Behaviour Science

And many more!

Print Books

One viable search strategy to find print books on a topic is stack browsing. That is to visit the library and locate the physical bookshelves to browse the book collections with a particular subject focus area using LC call number. For example, if you are interested in Dairy processing and Dairy products, you would want to look for call numbers that start with SF250.5-275. Other relevant call numbers include:

SF1-1100	Animal culture
SF94.5-99	Feeds and feeding. Animal nutrition
SF191-275	Cattle
SF221-250	Dairying
QP1-(981)	Physiology
QP501-801	Animal biochemistry

Government Documents

When searching the library catalog, you can filter the results by Government Documents under Resource Type. These documents are located on the library basement. You can click this link or email Rami Attebury to learn more about how to access government documents.

You can use Google to search for government documents as well. Add site:gov at the end of your keyword search terms will yield results from government webpages. For instance, if your topic is on Contribution of dairy industry to greenhouse gases, you can search for dairy AND “greenhouse gas” site:gov.

Data and Statistics

If you are looking for contextual background information and overview of issue at stake for your presentation, consider incorporating some data and statistics on production, consumption, price, or standards of dairy products:

• USDA dairy market news
• Milk marketing order statistics
• USDA economic research service dairy data
• USDA dairy products grades and standards
• US dairy export council dairy data dashboard
• USDA dairy products monthly production data
• USDA census of agriculture
• USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service

Citation

Remember to cite your sources and format them according to the reference style of either Journal of Animal Science or Journal of Dairy Science.

You may also consider using a citation manager (if you have never used one before) to cite your sources. A citation manager can be a time saver, and is incredibly useful if you are thinking about pursuing a master’s or doctoral degree in which considerable writing is expected. Check out the recording of library workshop on Citation Management with Zotero below if interested.
