Subject: complete citation

[David E. Boufford]

Dear Stacy,

Its in no way complete, and has only a few zoological records, but if you
go to the Harvard Herbaria web site (http://www.huh.harvard.edu/) and
select Databases, then Publications, you can enter any string of text, for
example, Bidrag or Zool  on the Title/Abbreviation line and hit Enter and
get a list of all records containing that string of text.  You can also
enter a string of any continuous part of an abbreviation (with or without
the punctuation), such as Bull. De to find the full title.

Searches can also be made by entering just a city name, or part of a city
name, for example Petersb for a list of all the publication in the database
from St. Petersburg, although city name has not been added to every
publication record.

Dave
