Welcome to the Library! Peer-reviewed journals featured

Welcome to the library, students and faculty! Our best resource is our staff, with decades of cumulative experience in helping both faculty and students. Visit us in Merrill Hall at the Center for Urban Horticulture (Monday: 9-8; Tuesday-Friday: 9-5; Saturday: 9-3).

To help you get the most from your research time, this month's display in the north window highlights our collection of peer-reviewed publications. Peer-reviewed journals (also called refereed publications) are scholarly works that typically represent the latest original research in the field, research that has been generally accepted by academic and professional peers for dissemination and discussion. From Conifer Quarterly to Urban Forestry and Urban Greening, we have uniquely useful publications on a wide range of botany, horticulture, and restoration topics.
