================================================ MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ** MAPS-L ================================================ Subject: USDA Forest Service--FS INFO database Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2005 From: Carol Ayer <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: MAPS-L I'm happy to announce that the FS INFO database is again available on the WWW at: http://fsinfo.fs.fed.us/cgi-bin/gw/chameleon FS INFO is the on-line catalog for the USDA Forest Service libraries. It contains approximately 200,000 records of natural resources literature--with an emphasis on North America. A major component of the database is approximately 70,000 records for publications authored, sponsored, or produced by the Forest Service--about 10% of these include hot links to full--text. The FS records go back to the formation of the Forest Service in the early 1900's. FS INFO includes bibliographic records for books, technical reports, theses, journal articles, chapters in books, and other literature relevant to the mission of the Forest Service. Nearly all current Forest Service publications are available with full-text on line. However, most older publications are not. While our Forest Service libraries do honor interlibrary loan requests, if possible, please continue to use your normal ILL channels before you come to us.
