| Abstract/Contents: | "1984 Grant - $96,326 (started April, 1984). Michigan State University will acquire, maintain, and preserve all appropriate printed and processed materials reporting on research related to turfgrass growth, development, and maintenance. Developing the collection is part of the responsibility of the project manager, Peter LePoer, who was hired on July 1, 1984. The library has purchased an Alpha Microsystems computer, and the STAR information retrieval software. The system was installed on August 8 and is now up and running. A record format is now being designed which will best suit the needs of users of the file, and also allow records to be added to the National Agricultural Library's AGRICOLA database. The project manager, with the library's expert on bibliographic formats, traveled to the NAL on October 29 to work out the details of the cooperative venture. A full time clerk was hired in early September with the primary duty being data entry into the sYstem. A graduate assistant was hired to abstract and index all monographs and separate reports of the O. J. Noer Collection for the inclusion into the system. Technical journals and newsletters will also be regularly reviewed. Starting in September and on a monthly basis thereafter, the files and bib.liographies of the NAL, the Commonwealth Bureau, FAO, Biological abstracts and others will be reviewed and/or computer searched for omissions and for other titles that do not usually report on turfgrass research. Articles so identified will be added to this file. The MSU Library will provide loans and/or appropriate photocopies to all users of the turfgrass library collections. The Library will develop procedures to respond to requests for loans or copies within 48 hours and will provide this information to potential users on how to access the collection on-line or via U S Mails. It will be possible to print bibliographies directly from the STAR database on particular subjects or a comprehensive listing of the contents of the STAR database will also be available. Overall, substantial progress has been made in establishing the Turfgrass Information File since getting underway in April, 1984." |
