 Find the peer-reviewed journals you need

Peer-reviewed journals (also called refereed publications) typically represent the latest original research in the field, research that has been generally accepted by academic and professional peers for dissemination and discussion. At the Miller Library students and faculty can access a wealth of research analysis, both on paper and digitally. Library computers have access to a range of publications through UW Libraries. On our shelves, you'll find paper copies of the most relevant titles, including Ecological Restoration, HortScience, and Urban Forestry and Urban Greening.

 Calling all artists & designers:
Create a poster design for the 2015 Garden Lovers' Book Sale

We seek your donation of creative talents for a new design for the 11 x 17 poster and 5 x 8 postcard advertising the 2015 Miller Library Garden Lovers' Book Sale. The successful design will be eye-catching, with a plant theme. The poster must include specific details about the date and location, plus the University of Washington Botanic Gardens logo. We will accept submissions through December 29. For more information, contact Tracy.
