While the Turfgrass Information Center remains closed to the public, our digital resources such as the Turfgrass Information File (TGIF) database remain available. If you are looking for TGIF Database access, see our our SPRINGTURF login to get in today, no membership, no hassle - we remain committed to help those working and learning remotely. 

Turfgrass Information Center materials can be paged and used by arrangement in the Libraries' Special Collections Reading Room: https://tic.msu.edu/appointments 

If you need assistance, please reach out to us at tgif@msu.edu. TIC staff are working remotely and available Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm (-5GMT).
