Publications Bibliographies

CTAHR’s century of publishing is at your fingertips in three bibliographic databases:
CTAHR Publications are cataloged here—over 8,000 titles of books, pamphlets, brochures, software, and videos produced by the college’s outreach program (the Cooperative Extension Service) and research program (the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station). Recent titles are either downloadable or available for purchase; information on how to obtain out-of-print titles is given. A growing collection of pdf files of out-of-print CTAHR publications issued prior to 1995 is available at UH Manoa's ScholarSpace.

CTAHR Journal Series includes many of the scientific and research articles published by CTAHR faculty in books and academic journals; in addition to the articles’ titles and publication sources, the descriptive abstracts of many of the more recent articles are included.

CTAHR Student Thesis and Dissertation titles are listed; the original documents are archived in UH Manoa’s Hamilton Library.
