How do I find information for my college assignments?

The information does not have to be in the library. It could be electronic, but it needs to be more plentiful and better than Wikipedia.

SubjectsPlus/Help by Subject - Information sources for your major.
- Credo Reference - Definitions from 360 encyclopedias and dictionaries, direct links to the Library Catalog and other resources.

Databases Tab Searches EBSCOhost Academic Search Elite to tell you which magazines, newspapers and journals have published articles on the topics you want.
- More Databases Provides lists of the 152 databases on all subject areas that Pickler Memorial Library subscribes to for Truman students, faculty and staff. Agriculture is a good place for this class to look for information.
  - Agricola - On the Web through the National Agricultural Library.
    This database covers every major agricultural subject. It is very scholarly.
Journals Tab Provides a search box for specific magazine, newspaper or journal titles. Tells you where the periodical article is and if it is electronic or in print. In the example below, you would need to look up Journal of Agricultural Science.

Gomex, O.J. "Yield formation in Nicaraguan landraces of common bean compared to bred cultivars."

Journal of Agricultural Science. 143, no. 143, (2005 Oct.): p. 369-375.
