[Michlib-l] MeL Minute - Turfgrass Information File database

[Borrelli, Eunice (MDE)]

Hi all,

When I first moved to Michigan, I heard mention of the Turfgrass Library at Michigan State University.  Turfgrass wasn't a term I was familiar with and I wondered what a library devoted to it would consist of.  Since then, I've learned - Number 1, that Turfgrass is an area of planted grasses (think golf courses, sports fields, parks, landscape design, roadsides); Number 2, that MSU is known world-wide for their extensive resources of publications, studies, and research on this topic; and, Number 3, that the Turfgrass Information File<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-msu.php> (TGIF) is a MeL Database.  Established in 1983 as a cooperative project of the United States Golf Association and the Michigan State University Libraries' Turfgrass Information Center, TGIF provides bibliographic and descriptive records of all types of work related to Turfgrass culture.  So, what kind of information might you look for in this MeL database?  Some examples include: grub control, fertilization, winterkill, invasive plants, and pesticides residue.  Parks and grounds managers, landscapers, and golf course managers are among the businesses and organizations in your community who might be interested in the specialized information found in the Turfgrass Information File<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-msu.php>.  Michigan residents or Michigan library access only.
