*Archive-It* ([http://archive-it.org|http://archive-it.org]): Archive-It allows us to crawl and capture snapshots of web sites, which are then both made publicly available through the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine ([http://archive.org|http://archive.org/]) and also delivered to the Library as part of our permanent digital archive. \[More information:\] Cornell Library will be using this service in several ways: first, to capture and preserve on a regular basis the cornell.edu web space, including resources such as the Cornell Chronicle, course catalogs and descriptions, and research sites; second, to work with faculty to identify and capture external websites that are important to current and future scholarship; third, to capture immediately both Cornell and outside web sites that are of interest and at risk due to loss of funding or other changes. As part of our 2CUL effort with Columbia University, we will be using the service to jointly identify and capture resources for scholars at both institutions. The cost of the service is being split by Cornell Information Technologies and the Library. [Thumbnail|^Archive-It thumbnail.gif].

Conservation and Digitization of the Trials Pamphlet Collection at Cornell University Library.  A project 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 capture 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. The project will ensure in-person access to the original artifact at Cornell and provide arge worldwide access to the collection via the Internet. With funding from the National Park Service through the Save America's Treasures program. For additional information contact Barbara Eden <beb1@cornell.edu>

Dissemination and Preservation of Digital Agricultural Economic Data on the Internet. A cooperative agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture to improve and enhance current and long-term access to the electronic information and data resources of the Natioanl Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), the Economic Research service (ERS), the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and the World Agricultural Outlook Board (WAOB).  These resources are vital to data users in universities and other research institutions, state and local government agencies, libraries, and by others in the private and public sectors. Staff at Cornell's Mann Library will organize, preserve and provide network access to the agency files along with user support services, including reference and referral. For additional information contact Mary Ochs <mao4@cornell.edu>

Implement the VIVO Application to Enable Discovery of Researchers Across USDA.  A cooperative agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture to support the implementation of the VIVO software across the Department of Agriculture. This will not only link science and research across the Department but also pave the way for linking the Department's VIVO instance into the national VIVO network being developed to create a national VIVO network for agriculture. For additional information see <http://www.mannlib.cornell.edu/news/usda-mann-partnership-bears-new-fruit> (http://www.mannlib.cornell.edu/news/usda-mann-partnership-bears-new-fruit>  contact) Contact: Mary Ochs <mao4@cornell.edu>

• Educating the New Generation of E-Scientists through Developing a Data Information Literacy Curriculum
  A two-year project led by Purdue University, in partnership with the University of Oregon, University of Minnesota, and Cornell University, to develop a model for designing and implementing a data information literacy (DIL) instruction program. Five project teams composed of a data librarian, a subject librarian, and a faculty researcher from a science or engineering discipline will work to develop a DIL program with defined learning goals, educational interventions and metrics for assessment. The direct collaboration with researchers will  ensure that the resulting instruction will be relevant to their students. Outcomes from the project teams' experiences will be used to draft a model for other academic librarians to develop data information literacy programs of their own. 
   
• Ahead of the Curve: Mentoring for Emerging Careers in eScience Librarianship
  Cornell University Library (CUL) is partnering with the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University (SU) to support their eScience Fellows Program by developing a mentorship program for enrolled students. The partnership provides students with opportunities to be exposed to world-class science libraries, as well as innovative eScience projects. The eScience Librarianship program, a specialized curriculum within SU's MS in Library and Information Science program, is designed to prepare students for professional roles supporting scientific practice and communication in eScience environments. Curriculum components include scientific data management, data and collaboration technologies, data services, workflows, and metadata for scientific data sets. The overarching goals of the mentorship program are to provide students with the opportunity to:
  • gain exposure to the practice of science and eScience librarianship, and
  • develop career skills and professional contacts.

• arXiv (move from Partnerships with Cornell Faculty and programs" page) 
  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) 
  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.

• ARTstor Shared Shelf Image Management System
  Shared Shelf has been developed in response to the community's expressed need for 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. ARTstor is collaborating with 9 institutional partners, including Cornell University Library, and an initial group of early subscribers who are contributing significant staff knowledge, time, and investment funds to develop this common software platform. The Library 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
  
• Collective Bargaining Agreements - U.S. Department of Labor and the New York State Public Employment Relations Board (PERB)
  The Catherwood Library is currently involved in two partnerships aimed at providing full-text, searchable access to collective bargaining agreements through DigitalCommons@ILR. We have reached arrangements with both the U.S. Department of Labor and the New York State Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) to make digital versions of the collective bargaining agreements those agencies collect freely available through DigitalCommons@ILR.
