Videocassettes in the NAL Collection Pertaining to Alternative Farming
Introduction
This Special Reference Brief (SRB) amends the 1995 Brief of the same title. It describes videocassette titles added to the National Agricultural Library (NAL) collection since 1995, and continues efforts by the Alternative Farming Systems Information Center (AFSIC) to provide access to non-print resources related to alternative agriculture: sustainable farming systems and practices, specialty crops, on-farm enterprises, and direct marketing techniques, as well as associated environmental topics. A special effort has been made to add titles pertaining to aquaculture, a topic that has been added to AFSIC's scope since 1995.
Using this directory in conjunction with the 1995 volume, provides a relatively complete listing of all videos related to alternative agriculture currently in the NAL collection. A video title from the 1995 volume is repeated in this volume ONLY if it was originally cited as "on order", and now has a full NAL catalog record including an NAL call number.
All titles listed here are in VHS format unless otherwise noted. The inclusion or omission of a particular video should not be construed as either endorsement or disapproval. For this and other reference briefs and bibliographies, see "Publications" on the AFSIC web site, http://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/.
