What are we?
  The
Agricultural Communications Documentation Center (ACDC) is a unique
literature collection and information service developed by agricultural
communications faculty members at the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It is offered as a service to
students, teachers, researchers, professional communicators and others
who are interested in communications related broadly to agriculture,
food, natural resources and rural affairs. The Center is housed
within the Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences (ACES) Funk Library.
More
than 29,000 documents
now make up the collection. All are available within the Center
or in libraries located elsewhere on the Urbana-Champaign campus.
The collection involves agriculture-related communications in more
than 90 countries and is expanding at the rate of about 100 documents
a month.
All
documents in this collection deal with communications in connection
with agriculture. They emphasize the human and social dimensions
of agriculture, not the physical or technical aspects. So you will
not find in them literature about how to grow crops or raise livestock,
for example. You will find literature about human interaction in
agricultural and rural settings, internationally. |
