Have to keep it

We've only had this database for a year. It isn't getting widespread use. I thought we might cancel it but I want to give it another year.

There is a monthly report sent with statistics on use of Garden Literature Index. The index is noted on the student survey at the end of each class (for every program not just horticulture). Folks are using the database - just not enough folks.

There are tons of articles in Garden Literature Index. They are helpful for every type of gardener not just the pros!
  • It does have full text articles. You can limit your search by clicking on full text.
  • It does not have a link to see what publications are used. You can figure that out by doing a search and scrolling through the articles pulled up.
