"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 27,000 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."
