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.
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.
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.
