The librarians still need information from UC ANR to identify future presentation topics, so please let them know by completing this survey. Those of you who didn't attend the Primer can skip the questions about the 12/12/23 session and go straight to the “future topics” question. Finally, feel free to contact the various librarians at UC Davis who cover different agricultural-related disciplines.
