The last 5 years of the US Dept. of Agriculture's AGRICOLA database
is searchable _free_ by telnetting to Iowa State University. It's on
the same system as their card catalog (ICAT). AGRICOLA covers a very
wide range of topics -- I pulled down over 1000 orchid citations
recently, mostly on wild species.
To reach it, type the words in CAPS below:
TELNET ISN.IASTATE.EDU
answer SCHOLAR
then terminal type
then SCHOLAR again
and finally AGRI (or ICAT).
Both are searchable by author, title, subject and keyword and have
online help.
Type STOP (twice) to end the session.
