Honor the Past and Help Serve the Future!

There are still a number of gaps in the Collection that need to be filled. It is only through the cooperation of those interested in turfgrass research and management that TIC continues to receive back issues, new titles, and is kept on the mailing lists for the latest volumes or editions.

Do you have printed materials relating to turf culture that need a new, public, home? Can you help contribute to the legacy of a great turf agronomist and provide a known library where scientists, professionals, scholars, and students can have access to the great tradition of reporting in turf science? Please donate those reports, books, papers, and magazines to the O.J. Noer Memorial Turfgrass Collection. Publishers, click here for more information on providing access to your materials through TGIF.

A bookplate will be affixed inside the front cover of each item retained for the Noer Collection. In this way also, TGIF records will be created for materials as they are processed, making them "once again known" to the turfgrass community. Items already appropriately held will be made available to other institutions and professional associations to build their collections, thus strengthening the collective access to the turf science "body of knowledge."

The following are partial listings of materials currently needed to further "complete" the O.J. Noer Memorial Turfgrass Collection. Please note that these listings are incomplete and constantly changing. Therefore, what you may have to donate may not be listed. This does not mean that we might not want it! In addition, a wide variety of information "types" are represented in the TGIF database. While the bulk of the databases consists of the material types listed below, turfgrass resources in various other formats may be needed as donations. Please refer all questions about donations to Pete Cookingham. Thank you. Your continued support in building the Noer Collection is greatly appreciated.
