Apologies for cross-posting...

Announcing... A new ONLINE searchable bibliographic database for 
dendrochronology! Click on: http://www01.wsl.ch/dendrobiblio/.

The Bibliography of Dendrochronology is an archive of printed documents 
relevant to tree-ring research worldwide, that you can search for free. It 
was compiled and is constantly updated by Henri D. Grissino-Mayer. It 
currently contains over 8200 references dating back to 1737. This online 
version would not be possible without the herculanean effort of Michèle 
Kaennel Dobbertin. Both of us thank the Department of Geography at the 
University of Tennessee and the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow 
and Landscape Research (WSL). The online database is made available online 
by facilities and equipment at the WSL and by its excellent technical 
support staff.

One can search by author(s), year of publication, title, journal, abstract, 
keywords, language in the main text, and language of abstract(s), or one 
can conduct a full-text search in all fields. One can also obtain a list of 
all references added since a certain date. Please note that this beta 
version will be upgraded in Fall 2003. For technical support, comments and 
suggestions, please contact Michèle Kaennel Dobbertin.

This online searchable database will be periodically updated at least twice 
a month. The database to a large extent has been made  possible because 
hundreds of tree-ring scientists have sent Dr. Grissino-Mayer reprints of 
their publications, year after year. On behalf of all the users of this 
database, we wish to thank all contributing authors.

You are welcome to contribute by sending reprints of dendrochronologically 
relevant publications (excluding newspaper or magazine articles) to Henri 
D. Grissino-Mayer at the adddress below. From the bibliography web site, 
you may also submit reference(s) (with English abstracts, if available) 
or  just send English abstracts that are missing in the database, simply 
using our form on this web site.

In addition we also wish to announce a new ONLINE database of species used 
in dendrochronology! Click on http://www01.wsl.ch/species/. This database 
of dendrochonologically relevant plant species was also compiled by Henri 
D. Grissino-Mayer. It contains the Latin and common names of all tree and 
shrub species for which tree rings have been analyzed in the published 
literature.

If you have any questions, please let us know -- we're here to help.
