Three documents produced by NDSU are in the running for the American Library Association’s list of notable government documents. The documents were selected for submission by the North Dakota Library Association at its annual meeting in September.

“Home Lawn Problems and Solutions for North Dakota” was produced by Agriculture Communication and the following NDSU faculty: Alan Zuk, assistant professor of plant sciences; Janet Knodel, Extension entomologist; and Ron Smith, Extension horticulturist. The publication can be found at www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/plantsci/landscap/h1553.pdf. 

The following publications produced by the Institute for Regional Studies also were selected: “Flowers Between the Frosts: How to Grow Great Gardens in Short Seasons” by Dorothy Collins and “Spectacular North Dakota Hikes: Bring the Dog” by Susan Wefald. 

The documents will be forwarded to the American Library Association’s Government Documents Roundtable for consideration in its Notable Government Documents list. Results are expected in May 2013.

NDSU is recognized as one of the nation's top 108 public and private universities by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.
