Natural Resources!
Search the library catalog when looking for books. Try searching by Subject Terms such as NATURAL RESOURCES or something more specific such as SOIL ACIDITY.
The library catalog will often include government documents in the results. Although these are not considered scholarly per se, they are often very good sources of information. If you have any questions on accessing these materials, feel free to contact a Reference librarian (see sidebar).
