[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. \[Use [http://datastar.mannlib.cornell.edu/themes/enhanced/site_icons/DatastarLogo-web200.gif] for the thumbnail\] \\ \\ |

Conservation and Digitization of the Trials Pamphlet Collection at Cornell University Library. Barbara Eden, PI - submitted 5/21/10. A Save America's Treasures proposal to the National Park Service to conserve and digitize the 321 pamphlets in the Trials Pamphlet collection at the Cornell University Law Library. The pamphlets range in date from the late 1600s to the late 1800s. As a collection, these trial pamphlets are a unique resource that captures a formative period in American history from the early years of the republic, through the turmoil of the Civil War, to the emergence of the United States as a leading industrial nation in the late 1800s. Because cases were not officially reported on until the 1830s, the collection is one of the few ways to research trials from the 18th and early 19th centuries. If funded the project will ensure access to the original artifact at Cornell and provide free of charge worldwide access to the collection via the Internet.

eClips, is a video collection of interviews with leaders in business, government, & nonprofits that brings the authentic voices of entrepreneurship, business and leadership into the classroom. Created by faculty and staff in the Cornell Department of Applied Economics and Management Staff, eClips runs on a web-based infrastructure and interface design developed by staff from Mann Library and Cornell University Library's DCAPS division, who continue to work with project staff to maintain and update the capabilities of the eClips service.
Partners in Animal Health, Still needs work! is a collection of resources that veterinary experts at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine have created for veterinarians and pet owners. Need more info here on what the library involvement has been

VIVO: Research and Expertise Across Cornell (http://vivo.cornell.edu
) is a web-based search service that connects researchers and resources across Cornell University and facilitates the discovery of who does what, where and how in all areas of research and scholarship. Librarians and information technology professionals from Cornell University Library developed the technology underlying VIVO, work with Cornell faculty and administrators to sustain currency and extend coverage, and have been collaborating with several U.S. and Australian universities and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to expand the VIVO technology for use in national networking for scientific research.

VIVO:Enabling National Networking of Scientists (http://vivoweb.org) is a two-year project funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to facilitate the discovery of researchers and promote collaboration among scientists and other researchers. Software developers, ontologists, librarians, and outreach specialists in the Cornell University Library work with colleagues from the University of Florida and Indiana University to enhance the VIVO software and support implementations at four additional institutions: Weill Cornell Medical College, Ponce School of Medicine, The Scripps Research Institute, and Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine. VIVO uses innovative Semantic Web technologies to provide simple and standardized access to updated information on research for interdisciplinary interaction and national networking of researchers across U.S. institutions of science.

TEEAL, makes the full text of 149 agricultural journals available at on a low-cost, palm-sized external hard-drive to universities, agricultural research organizations and government ministries in eligible low-income countries. In cooperation with over 50 major scientific publishers, societies, and index providers, staff at Cornell's Albert R. Mann Library oversee production, distribution, outreach, and marketing of the library and works with the South Africa-based Information and Training Outreach Center for Africa (ITOCA) to provide training on its use. New grant funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is helping Mann to expand TEEAL's distribution throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
AGORA, enables developing countries to gain web-based access to an outstanding digital collection of full-text articles from over 1,275 journals in the fields of food, agriculture, environmental science and related social sciences. Derived from the TEEAL collection at Cornell's Mann Library, and the World Health Organization's online HINARI resource, AGORA is led by the Food and Agriculture Organization in partnership with major scientific publishers, Mann Library and others.
