| 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 bibliographic computer database to provide access to published materials reporting the results of research that affects turfgrass and its maintenance. The original statement of purpose of the USGA Turfgrass Information File 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 will continue 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, supplemented by appropriate printed reports. The Turfgrass Information File is housed in an ALPHA MICRO computer, using STAR software. Both the hardware and software work well. By June 30, 1985, 6000 records were in the database. 3)Michigan State University Library will provide loans and/or appropriate photocopies to all users who have reason to need access to the turfgrass collections. MSU Library is in the process of preparing a descriptive brochure that explains the project and services available. The brochure will explain how to acquire and use software to access the file with an IBM compatible personal computer. Also, the Library will continue to search telephone requests on demand. " |
