@UDTurfguy @USGAGrnSection @michiganstateu Hi John! While the public has full access to all TGIF metadata and all TGIF search features, certain publishers have elected to keep a small percentage of full-text URLs linked from within the database restricted to legacy members.

This October, we have a range of items that discuss how to protect and preserve golf course wildlife and their habitats. All materials are from the Noer Collection within the Turfgrass Information Center. - Come by and see our various displays throughout the year!

[Turfgrass Information Center @TurfLibrary]

If you should stumble upon turf materials while cleaning out your office, please consider the TIC. We're interested in a variety of items that would help fill gaps in both the physical and online collections.

To see if your items would be a good fit for TIC, email: [email protected]

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, we encourage you to take time for yourself - not just today, but everyday. To care for others, we must first care for ourselves. It's ok to ask for help if you need it.
