You have to log in to the NARGS site as a member to get to the menu that mentions the Quarterly. I agree it's a bit of a pain though. Adolescent growing pains, though!

Hello everyone,

Alice has it right, allow me to shed further light on where the NARGS online quarterly indices are located. If you are a NARGS Member, when you visit the NARGS website at http://www.nargs.org or simply http://nargs.org/ you may notice on the bottom left-hand side of the screen, there is a "NARGS Member login area". There is text stating "Only members have user accounts. Join NARGS to enjoy member privileges". If you know your NARGS Member login credentials, enter your loginname and password to login.

After logging in, a new "menu block" appears on the left side of the screen labeled "User Menu". From that menu select "Quarterly Bulletins", then you'll see links for indices for the NARGS quarterly bulletins from 1943-2008 (65 years) listed by sorted categories: Plant Name Index, Subject Index, and Author-Title Index.

What if you're a NARGS member but don't have a login to the website yet, or you've forgotten your loginname and password? Well, going back to the main nargs.org web site, back at the lower "NARGS Member login area", there is a "Forgot Login" link in case you've lost or forgotten your login credentials, and above it there is a link entitled "Requesting a web login", which gives information on how to get a login. If your're not currently a NARGS member, you can join to get access to member-only privileges. On this same informational page, it does let the visitor know that the NARGS Forum is open to "self-registration"; no need to be a NARGS member, it is open to all approved internet visitors that pass a forum-spam check (there are above 200 invalid nefarious spammer registration requests on NARGS Forum each day!, most of which get automatically denied via Forum automation that checks with Forum-Anti-Spam services).

So, the information is there on the NARGS web site, a useful NARGS Member perk. I no longer depend on my various "cumulative indices" that have been published through the years, I tend to misplace them, this single online resource is my preferred reference now. By the way, I merely suppy the facts here as I understand them, I am not privy to the establishment or design of this resource.
