Searchable Databases and Electronic Resources The Library provides access to many electronic databases and journals at public terminals located in the Reference Room and the Shelby White and Leon Levy Reading Room. Many of these products are restricted to onsite use in the Library. Some require passwords. For these, ask for assistance at the Reference Desk. Electronic Reference tools E-Journals available at the Library include:
The following electronic databases are available at the Library:
Mertz Library Local Databases The Library also maintains a number of local databases, providing access, inventory, and searching capability to some of the Library's non-book collections that have not received full cataloging and are therefore not available through the online catalog. These databases include botanical art and illustration collection, nursery catalogs, collectors' field notebooks, and the Lord & Burnham Collection. These databases are currently available onsite in the Library only. Digital Library The Library participated in the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Botanical/Horticultural Rare Book Digitization Pilot Program, along with several other botanical and horticultural libraries in the United States and the United Kingdom. The Garden's project was to create high quality digital copies of three 19th century titles by French botanist Andre Michaux and his son Francois Andre Michaux. Illustrators of the titles include Pierre Joseph Redoute and Pancrace Bessa.
