Abstract
There is no lack of bibliographical services which cover food and agricultural
marketing--including marketing in the developing countries. World Agricultural
Economics and Rural Sociology Abstracts (WAERSA), Agricultural Research
Information System (AGRIS), and the bibliography issued by the F AO Marketing
Service provide the fullest coverage. Other bibliographical services which
include marketing in the developing countries are USDA's AGRICOLA and the
bibliographical series of the Royal Tropical Institute of the Netherlands. The
Inter-American Institute of Agricultural Cooperation and various universities
have also issued selected marketing bibliographies. The number of titles held in
one or another source is enormous. The issue to which this paper is addressed
is how best to serve those practitioners of the subject who do not have access
to a well-equipped library or are too busy to check through thousands of titles.
