This is a browsable (by subject area) and searchable database of the quarterly print bibliography, produced by the Forestry Library at the University of Minnesota. It contains briefly annotated citations in 43 subjects in four major areas (forestry at large, forest management, forest goods and services, and forest industries). At present, 48 issues (1985-1996), containing more than 30 000 citations, are available for subject browsing or keyword searching. The only drawback to this bibliography is that citations must be downloaded/printed one at a time. See the "About SsiF" section for interlibrary loan availability of cited publications. SSiF is one of seven briefly annotated forestry-related bibliographies (time span varies) available from the Forestry Library gopher server.
