About Our Reference Service

When should I use this service?

Use the this service after you have checked the Hawaii Rangelands and Rangelands West web sites for answers to your question. Remember that for questions on topics outside the scope of the Hawaii Rangelands web site, your local library (public, college, and/or university) can provide reference assistance. For assistance in other agriculture-related topics, check the AgNIC Home Page.

Please note that many questions are most appropriately answered by county extension agents and in all likelihood, if you ask those kinds of questions here, you will be referred to them directly. Please explore their services first since they are well-versed in your local flora and fauna 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 your question by e-mail to agnic@hawaii.edu.

Who will answer my question?

Questions directed to this service are responded to by the Hawaii Rangelands team and other specialists at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

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 2 business days for first-level difficulty questions. For more difficult questions, within 2 business days 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 or make a suggestion regarding the content or the structure and design of the Rangeland Management web site?

No. We appreciate and look forward to feedback on this site, so for that use Feedback. For technical problems or suggestion about the site, please send those to the Hawaii Rangelands site webmaster at eherring@hawaii.edu.
