Document Delivery Services to Individuals 



The National Agricuttural Library (NAL) supplies agflcultural materials not found elsewhere to other 

 libraries. 



Filling requests for materials readily available from other sources diverts NAL's resources and diminishes 

 its ability to serve as a national source for agricultural and agriculturally related materials. Therefore, NAL 

 is viewed as a library of last resort. Submit requests first to local or state library sources prior to sending 

 to NAL. In the United States, possible sources are public libraries, land-grant university or other large 

 research libraries within a state. In other countries submit requests through major university, national, or 

 provincial institutions. 



If the needed publications are not available firom these sources, submit requests to NAL with a statement 

 indicating their non-availability. Submit one request per page following the instructions for libraries below.
