| Abstract/Contents: | "In the spring of 1984, the USGA and Michigan State University signed an agreement whereby the MSU Library would design and develop a computer-based bibliographic database to provide access to published materials reporting the results of research that affect turfgrass and its maintenance. The original statement of purpose of the Turfgrass Information Center was to provide efficient and effective access to all published and processed materials reporting the results of research affecting turfgrass and its maintenance. Three goals were identified as necessary for the successful completion of the Project. 1. Michigan State University continues to acquire, maintain, and preserve all appropriate printed and processed materials reporting on research related to turfgrass growth, development, and maintenance.; 2. Bibliographic access to the turfgrass collection is provided by on-line access to the project's retrieval system. The USGA Turfgrass Information File is housed in an ALPHA MICRO computer, using STAR software. Both the hardware and software continue to work well. By October, 1987, 11,000 records were in the database.; 3. Michigan State University Library continues to search telephone requests on demand and provide a custom bibliography to users, provide loans or appropriate photocopies for those needing access to the collection, and is in the final stages of testing the dial-up package to provide direct remote access to the file, including software and documentation. As this level of service is introduced, a fee-for-service schedule will be implemented." |
