ABOUT OUR REFERENCE SERVICE

When should I use this service?

Use this service after you have checked the Utah Rangelands website thoroughly for answers to your question(s). Remember that for questions on topics outside the scope of the Utah Rangelands website, your local library (public and/or academic) can provide reference assistance. If the scope of your questions is applicable to areas larger than Utah, may we suggest checking the Rangelands West site for answers as well. Also, please note that many questions are most appropriately answered by your county extension agent, and in all likelihood, if you ask those kinds of questions here, you will most likely be referred to him or her. Please explore their services first since they are well-versed in your local plant and animal life, and are a great resource for local problems.

Who can use this service?

Everyone is eligible to use this service.

What if the electronic reference form doesn't work?

If the reference form doesn't work with your browser, send questions by e-mail to Mindy Pratt at mindyp@ext.usu.edu.

Who will answer my question?

Questions directed to this service are responded to by an Extension Associate with the College of Natural Resources at Utah State University and other experts to whom she may direct the questions.

What kind of answer will I get?

Every effort will be made to provide accurate responses, and citations to sources consulted will be provided. Questions that don't appear to have clear answers may be answered by pointing you to the appropriate sources for your own examination or reflected back to you for further clarification.

How long will it take to get a response to my question?

Turn around time should be within 24 hours. With more difficult questions, within 24 hours you will be notified that the question is being referred to a specialist and when to expect a response from them.

Should I use this form to comment of make a suggestion regarding the content or the structure and design of the Utah Rangelands website?
