description The web has become the favourite user interface for accessing and exchanging scientific information. Within this hypertext framework new applications are made possible, e.g., forward linking to aggregated information resources or cited reference searching. Paralleling the technical developments, one can observe the convergence of primary and secondary literature services. More and more scholarly journals, university theses and research reports are available in full-text. However, what the user can access in a specific situation will heavily depend on the subscriptions held by the institution with which the researcher is affiliated. Which service would best fit one's information need? Due to the multidisciplinary character of forest research, there is no simple answer to this question. This contribution presents the results of a comparison that focused on coverage of forest-related journals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
