Documentation Center online, remember that every document in the collection involves communications related to agriculture.\u00a0 So the collection lends itself to cross-subject searches.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you want to identify documents about public attitudes toward pesticides, you might enter two terms under Subject in the search form, as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>attitudes AND pesticides<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are a few other examples of strategies for cross-searching, by subject:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>advertising AND dairy<\/li>\n<li>adoption AND computers<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0listenership AND farmers AND india<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u201ctraditional media\u201d AND africa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Further details and examples are available through
