The Turfgrass Information Center (TIC) is a repository of publicly available and selected professional, trade and scholarly information on turgrass. The Center provides a searchable database of over 140,000 records of information sources on turfgrasss, of which about one-third contain full-text sources. The scholarly journals in TIC include Applied Turfgrass Science. TIC includes some full-text electronic books, conference papers and reports such as those by the United States Golf Association (USGA). TIC aims to serve as a portal to all the worldwide literature on turfgrass, therefore the database sometimes provides bibliographic records to journal and magazine literature to 'restricted access' material that provide full-text through other additional subscriptions beyond the TIC subscription. The database covers the years 1968 to present on grasses and grass-like ground covers in golf courses, parks, sports fields, lawns, sod farms, roadsides, institutional grounds, and for other utility, recreational or aesthetic purposes. The subjects covered encompass: turfgrass seed production, breeding, biology of turfgrass species, culture methods and techniques, weeds, pest and diseases, water use, sod production, lawn design, landscape, sports facilities, equipment use and maintenance, environmental concerns, and business and industry trends
