[Tsinghua University Library Partnership|http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/Nov09/CULChinaCollab.html]:a collaborative relationship with the [Tsinghua University Library|http://www.lib.tsinghua.edu.cn/english/] aimed at enhancing scholarship and learning at Cornell and Tsinghua. A formal partnership agreement signed on October 29, 2009 covers joint opportunities for collection building, including digitization, the sharing of library and technology practices, and working on behalf of each other in negotiating with vendors and others to expand access to materials and services. Tsinghua has purchased duplicate titles from Uris Library and the proceeds from that sale have been used to set up an endowment netting $40,000 per year for the acqusition of books in the humanities. Also, Tsinghua has been instrumental in introducing [Euclid|http://projecteuclid.org/] to Chinese research libraries by assisting in the preparation of <span style="color: #1f497d">introductory</span> materials and by hosting a Chinese Euclid trial. <span style="color: #000000">We anticipate subscription negotiations will begin with interested Chinese subscribers in fall 2010 and we hope to attract Chinese publishers as participants</span><span style="color: #1f497d">.</span>

[Library Intervention Strategies for Doctoral Students in the Humanities|http://news.library.cornell.edu/news/2cul-humanities-study]: A pilot study on library intervention strategies for doctoral students in the humanities. In collaboration with our 2CUL partner, the Columbia University Libraries, and with funding from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) and the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, this study will assess humanities doctoral students needs to determine what academic libraries can do to help lower their attrition rates and improve time-to-completion. The Graduate School and Columbia's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences are providing additional support.

Cornell Library in the Internet Archive: In order to make its materials globally accessible, Cornell University Library is sharing nearly 80,000 of its digitized books with the Internet Archive where they are freely available for use. All the books are in the public domain. Printed before 1923, mainly in the United States, these books cover a host of subject areas, including American history, English literature, astronomy, food and wine, general engineering, the history of science, home economics, hospitality and travel, labor relations, Native American materials, ornithology, veterinary medicine and women's studies.

[DataStaR|http://datastar.mannlib.cornell.edu/]: A data staging repository and services to promote the publication of data and high quality metadata to both discipline‐specific data centers and Cornell's own institutional repository (eCommons), developed with funding from the National Science Foundation. CUL's data librarians are fielding inquiries from Cornell researchers who are required to include data management and/or sharing plans in grant proposals. In the past year, librarians have contributed text for four grant proposals to the National Science Foundation, and one to the US Environmental Protection Agency. All of these requests specified use of the DataStaR platform as a part of the data management/sharing plan. Cornell researchers are also planning to use DataStaR as a collaboration space. For example, Barbara Lust's Virtual Center for Language Acquistion will use DataStaR to share a library of audio recordings among colleagues. The Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology plans to use DataStaR as a temporary workspace for volunteers entering data from decades' worth of nest box data cards. The DataStaR team continues to assist researchers with the publication of data sets to discipline-specific repositories, as well as Cornell's digital repository (eCommons). With the NSF's new requirement all for Data Management plans for all submitted proposals, we expect that the demand for these services will increase dramatically.
