Smithsonian exhibit on Soils

Dig It! The Secrets of Soil is a new Smithsonian exhibit which opened Saturday, July 19, and will run through Jan. 3, 2010 at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Patrick Drohan, assistant professor of pedology in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences, helped with the exhibit. Dig It! will transport visitors to the world of fungi, bacteria, worms, and countless other organisms. Visitors will discover the amazing connections between soils and everyday life and think about this hidden world in a whole new way.

FUN FACT: There are more living creatures in a shovel-full of rich soil than human beings on the planet. Soils are teeming with life!

Veterinary Journals now available online

Penn State now has online access to two core journals in the veterinary sciences. The Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Journal of Veterinary Research.

These have been activated in the PSU "GetIt" service, so you will be able to access them directly from the databases where you find the articles. You can also get access from the Citation Linker service.

Enjoy!
