Sources for Finding Literature

National Forest Service Library: NFSL provides access to Forest Service and external articles or books, view publications that are currently available to the Forest Service, order articles that are unavailable (for free), or have a NFSL librarian help you find your item(s). Request it! The site also provides a monthly alert of new publications and has links to other publication websites.

You can also request a literature search. A literature search will:

• Ensure that you are using the best available scientific information.
• Gather background information for a project.
• Survey the knowledge on a particular topic.
• Survey the work of a particular author.
Our librarians can provide assistance in identifying appropriate databases and resources, constructing productive search strategies, and can even perform the needed literature searches on your behalf. Request a search of the literature. NFSL will contact you if they have any questions about your request.

Having problems with the website, have suggestions, want NFSL to purchase something specific, then use the help form. The National Forest Service Library will try to get you what you need to do your work.
