Free Searchable Non Timber Forest Product Bibliography Online
The web based international bibliographic database on NTFPs is a free, non-profit venture and is now online with over 1 300 entries. The database editorial committee is actively seeking authors to write critical reviews and abstracts for records. Details are on the Web site. Additionally, the editorial committee would like to know of any published materials on NTFPs not currently in the database.
The majority of records are currently in English because start-up funds originated from the U.S. National Assessment on Non-Timber Forest Products. However, the database reflects the fact that the majority of written material on NTFPs has occurred internationally. Options for expanding the database to include non-English publications pertaining to NTFPs are currently being explored. One challenge is to establish a multi-lingual oversight committee. www.ifcae.org/cgibin/ntfp/db/dbsql/db.cgi?db=bib&uid=default
