Need a paper copy of one or more USDA Forest Service research publications? |
![]() |
| The research division of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture
(USDA) Forest Service (FS) publishes and distributes paper copies
of serial reports, e.g., General
Technical Report, Resource Bulletin,
Research Note, or
Research
Paper from a wide variety of disciplines.
However,
the Federal
Depository Library program
supplies universities and other regional depository libraries ONLY with
microfiche copies, except in the case of color publications. Distribution of publications by
USDA FS divisions varies widely. There is no
central source for paper copies of publications, and no central mailing
list. Each USDA FS institution maintains its own publication distribution
system. Articles for the analyst, consultant, college student, planner, and scientist are more likely to be research publications that are indexed in the http://www.treesearch.fs.fed.us which somewhat replaces FS bibliography database. Some FS research Web sites also maintain citation databases or bibliographic lists organized by subject matter. Among them are the Forest Inventory and Analysis bibliography of FIA data uses, and others listed by FS research area, program, or unit. In addition, one may search for online information from the FS research division. Other divisions of the FS have extension publications, brochures, leaflets, and pamphlets and general interest articles for the casual or entry-level reader, which may be found through other USDA FS divisions. |
| How to obtain paper copies: |
|
The FS bibliography database
contains citations of all Research Station publications, some of which
are not available in electronic form. But anyone
may
download selected online reports
from
All
Online
Research Station Publications,
Washington
Office Online Publications, or through individual Research Station
Publications web sites listed below. Periodically, each Station distributes a list of recent publications which may include articles by Station scientists published elsewhere in journals, books, other media, and presentations at scientific meetings. The list includes information for ordering paper copies at no cost while supplies last. Many lists also include publication abstracts. To subscribe at no cost to the named periodical below, visit or write to a USDA FS regional research office or email the contact below and request a subscription. |

| Libraries and institutions interested in retaining paper copies of all recent USDA FS research organization publications must request to be on the "library distribution" mailing list. Those on this list automatically receive serial reports and other documents published by the Station at no cost. (Station scientists' reprints published in other serial outlets are not automatically distributed, but many are indexed in the FS bibliography database). |
| Provide your library or institution address and ask to be on the "library distribution" list. Note that the International Institute of Tropical Forestry and the Northeastern Research Station do not maintain separate mailing lists for libraries. |
