The National Agricultural Library (NAL) has released the 2009 editions of its classic glossary and thesaurus of the specialized vocabularies of agriculture. The four reference works--the "Glossary of Agricultural Terms" and its Spanish-language counterpart, "Glosario de Términos Agrícolas," and the "NAL Agricultural Thesaurus" and Spanish "Tesauro Agrícola," are now available free of charge. The glossaries, which would each run about 500 pages if printed as books, provide short, helpful definitions of some 2,500 terms. Each thesaurus, individually the size of an 8,000-page book, offers synonyms for more than 68,000 terms.
