Finding Dairy Research Experts
Search the Livestock Library.
There are two recommended steps for finding a researcher
conducting studies on your problem. There may not be a
person who's an expert on your specific situation. However,
someone conducting research on your general area is likely to
have the best insight into identifying a cause(s). Frequently,
the expert can identify what you should do next to solve the
problem.
Remember, you are most likely asking these people for
a favor. If you've done your homework first you're much more
likely to get a favorable response.
First,, search the USDA Current Research
Information System (CRIS)
WWW site. Click on the link in this paragraph, and go to the site, which
has lots of on-line help for new users. Find the name, location and
any available contact information
of the people doing work in your area. Write the names and locations
down. Then, search ICAR
the Inventory of Canadian Agri-food Research. Similar to CRIS, find
the people involved and write down name(s), location(s) and any
contact information.
Second, if you still don't have adequate
information to contact the individual(s), then addresses, phone numbers
and e-mail addresses are available at the WWW home page for most US and
Canadian universities. If you don't know the URL for the WWW home
page of a university, click on one of the following links to
get a link from the Yahoo list of universities:
