January 14th, 2020

Parrish Library’s Featured Database will give you a very brief introduction to the basic features of one of our specialized subscription databases. This time we’re featuring AgEcon Search, brought to you by the University of Minnesota Libraries, the Department of Applied Economics at the University of Minnesota and the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA).

Focus: Collects, indexes, and electronically distributes full text copies of scholarly research in the broadly defined field of agriculture and applied economics including sub disciplines such as agribusiness, food security and supply, energy and natural resource economics, policy issues, international trade, and more.
