- arXiv (move from Partnerships with Cornell Faculty and programs" page) DONE
The world's premier repository for scientific papers in physics, math, computer science, and related disciplines. Used by hundreds of thousands scientists worldwide as a way to share and access research before it is published. Cornell University Library provides operational support and stewardship for arXiv. In January 2010, Cornell University Library (CUL) undertook an effort to establish a long-term sustainable support model for arXiv. This effort aimed to reduce arXiv's financial burden and dependence on a single institution, instead creating a broad-based, community-supported resource. As a three-year interim strategy for 2010-2012, CUL initially established a voluntary institutional contribution model and invited pledges from 200 libraries and research laboratories worldwide that represent arXiv's heaviest institutional users. The ultimate goal has been developing a long-term business and management plan by summer 2012. A planning grant from the Simons Foundation enabled CUL to develop a strategy to transition arXiv from CUL's exclusive initiative to a collaboratively governed, community-supported resource.http://arxiv.org
- Cornell Geospatial Information Repository (CUGIR) DONE
An active online repository in the National Spatial Data Clearinghouse program. CUGIR provides free geospatial data and metadata for New York State, with special emphasis on those natural features relevant to agriculture, ecology, natural resources, and human-environment interactions. For over a decade, CUGIR has been one of the major providers of geospatial data for New York State, with over 1 million datasets downloaded ranging from wetlands and elevation to land cover and agricultural districts.

Use image from top of CUGIR page - ARTstor Shared Shelf Image Management System Which image to use? The page I get to at http://catalog.sharedshelf.artstor.org/login.html only gives me the image of a laptop--seems random to use that one; or do I have to log in? Ran out of time to figure this out.
Cornell University Library is collaborating with ARTStor and eight other institutional partners and an initial group of early subscribers to develop Shared Shelf, a cataloging and image management system, that allows institutions to manage and share collections across departments at their own campus, with other institutions, or on the open Web without requiring local technical infrastructure or administration. Shared Shelf developed out of ARTstor's pilot hosting program, which concluded in December 2010 (former ARTstor Hosting Advisory Group Members). During the pilot period, more than 2 million images from 150 colleges, universities, and museums were uploaded to the ARTstor Workspace software platform, providing seamless integration and cross-searching with the ARTstor Digital Library's 1.4+ million images. The ability to bring together institutional and the Digital Library's collections through a single Workspace proved invaluable to scholars and teachers in many different academic fields. The partners are contributing significant staff knowledge, time, and investment funds to develop this common software platform. Cornell is represented on the Shared Shelf Steering Group which advises on the development of Shared Shelf based on the expressed needs of their staff and end users. The shared vision is to develop innovative solutions to image management by leveraging the collective knowledge and expertise of our community. http://www.artstor.org/shared-shelf/s-html/shared-shelf-home.shtml Use image from Shared Shelf page http://catalog.sharedshelf.artstor.org/login.html - Collective Bargaining Agreements - U.S. Department of Labor and the New York State Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) Stable URL?
The Catherwood Library has reached arrangements with both the U.S. Department of Labor and the New York State Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) to make full-text, searchable versions of the collective bargaining agreements these agencies collect freely available through DigitalCommons@ILR through DigitalCommons@ILR. <http://digitalcommons.ilr.cornell.edu/cba/>
