Web of Science
A multidisciplinary database of bibliographic information gathered from thousands of scholarly journals. You can search for specific articles by subject, author, journal, and/or author address. Because the information stored about each article includes the article's cited reference list, you can also search the databases for articles that cite a known author or work.

The OSU Libraries Catalog is a listing of materials owned by OSU Libraries. It can be used to find books related to animal science. The catalog uses the Library of Congress subject headings. In addition to headings such as Animal breeding, Animal feeding, Animal genetics, Animal nutrition, headings are used for domestic species, e.g., Cattle, Beef cattle, Dairy cattle, Sheep, etc.
