Floriculture InfoSearch Engine<\/strong><\/a>, a powerful search engine for convenient and comprehensive access to floriculture literature, videos and presentations.The website also contains a floriculture archive with materials from AFE, NCSU, scientific journals and trade publications, all of which is accessible and searchable through one website.\u201cWe want to thank a couple of floriculture pack rats, George Staby and Harold Wilkins, for opening their files to us and several industry groups and magazines for allowing us to scan and enter their articles,\u201d project leader and NCSU Horticultural Science Department Head John Dole, Ph.D. said. \u201cThis project is a wonderful example of what can be done when several groups work together to benefit the floriculture industry.\u201d<\/p>AFE, the NCSU College of Agriculture Life Sciences (CALS) and the NCSU Department of Horticultural Science are funding the project, available online now.
\u201cI am excited about this project, as it will make horticultural research much more accessible and will safeguard the information should journals go out of print or researchers retire,\u201d AFE treasurer\/secretary Ken Altman of Altman\u2019s Plants said. The search engine will be continuously updated with additional information \u2013 dating as far back as the early 1800s \u2013 as it becomes available.\u201cInformation is of no use to anyone if they can\u2019t find it,\u201d Dole said. \u201cThe AFE Archive will allow everyone to easily find and use the rich trove of great scientific and trade articles published over the years.\u201d<\/p>Editor\u2019s Note<\/strong>: AFE has created ads in two sizes<\/strong><\/a> to use if you could help us spread the word about the new Floriculture InfoSearch Engine in your publications.
