HoWiLit
HoWiLit (abbreviation for Holz-Wirtschaft-Literaturdatenbank ) is a German-language online specialist database that is available from the Center for Wood Management at the University of Hamburg . The bibliographic database contains more than 112,000 references (as of September 2015) on the subject of forestry and wood management from 1985.
HoWiLit emerged from the forest / wood segment of the literature database ELFIS ( Nutrition, Agriculture and Forestry Information System ) of the specialist information system for nutrition, agriculture and forestry (FIS-ELF), which was activated in 1998 . ELFIS was also a largely German-language nutritional and agricultural science literature database, which primarily comprised selectively recorded German specialist literature and publications by German research institutions.
The database was searchable on the website of the Federal Research Center for Forestry and Wood Management (BFH). After the BFH was incorporated into the newly created Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute (TI) with effect from January 1, 2008 , ELFIS was offline for a few months. Since October 1, 2009, the forest / wood segment of the former database has been back on the World Wide Web under the new name HoWiLit , located on the website of the Center for Wood Management at the University of Hamburg . It is supplemented by about 3,000 entries per year by the specialist information center of the Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute (vTI). The documents in the database contain bibliographical information such as author, title, publication organ and year, page numbers and data fields describing the content. Some of the documents are also accompanied by abstracts . Use of the database is free of charge.
