Agricola Database and DOI Linking

The National Agricultural Library Agricola Database http://agricola.nal.usda.gov/ was updated in mid-September. The article catalog allows for direct linking from the Agricola catalog to the full-text of some journal articles. When searching Agricola, locate the line that says, "Electronic Resource" then click on the URL. If the CSU libraries have an online access to the journal, the DOI number should be automatically linked.
Example:
Title: Animal Agriculture: Symbiosis, Culture, or Ethical Conflict? \h [electronic resource].
Author(s): Lund, V. Olsson, I.A.S.
Found In: Journal of agricultural & environmental ethics. 2006 Feb., v. 19, issue 1 p. 47-56.
Electronic Resource: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10806-005-4378-9
