It can be very challenging to locate information about individual ISU Extension publications via the library website. Quick Search will list the name of the series, but it will not list individual publications within each series. The Parks Library Reference Collection has a List of Current Series, Serial Publications (Series Publications of Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service), published as of March 2004. It lists each publication from 1888-2004 (by title and publication number - and in some cases it will show an author name).

Abstract
A method for the study of the contamination from churns is suggested. It consists of allowing a small amount of an agar medium containing 2.5 percent air-dried agar to solidify in contact with the surface to be studied, the transferring of the agar preparation thus formed to a sterile petri dish and finally the counting of the colonies that develop on incubation. With surfaces nearly horizontal the agar is poured on, while with surfaces not nearly horizontal the medium is poured behind a glass plate held a short distance from the surface by a gasket. The results are expressed as the number of colonies developing per square centimeter of the agar preparations.
