Reference
The Agricultural Information Center (AIC) welcomes all reference questions, including requests for help locating information items, even those not owned by the University of Kentucky. We welcome questions about facts and statistics, including how to find them. We are also always willing to provide research guidance for our databases and journal collection. Some typical examples of reference questions include:
- How do I access UK Library databases from home?
- I need basic information about plant diseases. Do you have a resource that will have this information?
- I need newspaper articles about tobacco company lawsuits. Where do I get some?
- How do I open a .pdf (Acrobat Reader) file?
- I am looking for statistics put out by the USDA. Where can I find them?
