The Garden Literature Index (GLI) is made available through the EBSCOhost Research Databases. It indexes and abstracts over 300 journals on gardening, horticulture, landscape design, botany, ecology, plant conservation, garden management, and horticultural therapy, with a special emphasis on environmentally sustainable gardening practices. Its target audience ranges from gardening enthusiasts to horticulture students to professional landscape designers. Most titles are in English and include, among many others, Agroforestry Systems, American Horticulturist, Better Homes & Gardens, Biodiversity & Conservation, Carolina Gardener, Community Gardener, Ecological Landscaper, Gardener for the Prairies, Journal of Environmental Horticulture, Journal of the Bromeliad Society, Martha Stewart Living, PlantAmnesty, Southern California Gardener, and Wildflower: Journal of the National Wildflower Research Center.
HOW DOES IT WORK? GLI uses the well-designed and effective EBSCOhost interface,
with its Basic Search (a straightforward Find box), along with the Advanced
Search and its power to limit results to Full Text, by dates, authors,
and certain publications, with Expanders to search for related words within
the full text and Boolean operators.
