Below is the press release announcing availability of Garden Literature
Index, an online bibliographic database. It's been a long time coming online
(14
years?) and I hope you think it is worth the wait - it's more than triple the
size when I was doing it on my own.

The database contains abstracts and indexing of periodicals (and some books).
A full-text product is planned in the near future.

EBSCO Publishing sells to libraries, institutions, corporations, government
agencies (and not to individuals) and these groups can ask for a free trial.

database is designed for gardening enthusiasts and professionals as well as
students of horticulture and students of garden and landscape design &
history. Indexing and abstracts are provided for more than 300 core titles,
