| dc.description.abstract | Card-and-file plant records systems are typical for most botanical gardens and arboreta. The few examples of records computerization now in use demonstrate that more efficient access to records increases productivity and leads to local planning opportunities. This study presents justification for development of a standardized, computerized plant records system applicable to the needs of botanical gardens and arboreta. A model standardized system called the Botanical Accessions Records System, BARS, is described. Since records are supportive of most activities in botanical gardens and arboreta, improved efficiency and ability in records maintenance and management should improve the quality of record-dependent activities. In addition, the adoption of a standardized record system by cooperating institutions may enhance regional and national planning. | en |
