Welcome to the AGR 118 Food Science Libguide page.  You will find some helpful resources in the boxes below.

Start at the Libraries’ home page to find the catalog for books and e-books and the links to the lists of databases and electronic journals.   The Life Sciences Library in Lily Hall has reference materials, books and journals for Food Science classes.  Reference is on the entrance floor of the library (2^nd floor of Lilly), books are on the third floor, and bound journals are on the fourth floor.  Additional resources may be located in other Purdue libraries, so note the location of items in the catalog record.  You are welcome to contact me any time you need help finding information or using the Purdue Libraries or come to the Life Sciences Library to ask for help at the desk, or “Ask a Librarian” (chat with or email library staff at https://www.lib.purdue.edu/help/askalib)

Locating journal articles:

• Search appropriate databases for journal articles on specific topics and select the articles you would like to read.
• Check “Find It at Purdue” button to see if we have it electronically or in hard copy.
• If books or articles are not immediately available at Purdue, request interlibrary loan, which takes 2-10 days, depending on what is requested.  http://www.lib.purdue.edu/access/ill/
