The Wild Blueberry Network Centre has undergone some
exciting changes in 2007. The site has a new look and
new content. The Research
Centre, a wild blueberry
bibliography covering the years 1991-2000, new factsheets,
newsletters, abstracts
and links to theses
and other full-text resources have been added. Information
on lingonberry (Vaccinium idaea vitis-idaea)
and cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus), other berries
indigenous to the Atlantic Region, is available in the
Other Wild Berries
pages. To see a full list of these changes, visit What's
New.
A source of wild blueberry production and marketing information
for producers, agricultural professionals, researchers
and students, the Wild Blueberry Network Information Centre
is listed on the US AgNIC site as the repository of record
for information on wild blueberries. Originally, the WBNIC
was a combined effort of the Nova Scotia Department of
Agriculture, MacRae Library of Nova Scotia Agricultural
College, NS Wild Blueberry Producers’ Association,
and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Research Branch,
and NSAC has continued to maintain the site. The updates
are the result of a combined effort of NSAC, AgNIC and
the US National Agricultural Library.
