The integration of manual and computerized information services at the Centre for Agricultural Publishing and Documentation

The centre for Agricultural Publishing and Documentation, or Pudoc for short, is a legal entity under the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries of the Netherlands. Within the Ministry, it is directly responsible to the Directorate for Agricultural Research. (There is at the moment no formal relationship with the National Agricultural Library. The latter belongs to the Agricultural University, also located in Wageningen.) According to its charter, Pudoc has the aim to advance agriculture through publishing and documentation activities.
