On November 1st, the Turfgrass Information File (TGIF) database began to take on a new look as the first phase of redesign began. Visitors will see some immediate enhancements.
TGIF is administered by The Turfgrass Information Center (TIC) a specialized unit at the Michigan State University Libraries (MSU), and houses the most comprehensive publicly-available collection of turfgrass research and educational materials in the world, and has continuously produced the database since 1983. The database contains more than a quarter million records, with over 60% of those records linking the user directly to the full-text of the item.
The database is an irreplaceable resource for students, researchers, and professionals around the world who are responsible for maintaining golf courses, lawns, athletic fields, and managed landscapes of every kind. Access to TGIF is a significant added benefit to TPI members at no charge; the database is only available to others for a fee.
