Evaluating the Return in Ecosystem Services from Investment in Public Land Acquisitions

Creator:: Kovacs, Kent, Polasky, Stephen, Nelson, Erik, Keeler, Bonnie L., Pennington, Derric, Plantinga, Andrew J., and Taff, Steven J.
Abstract:: We evaluate the return on investment (ROI) from public land conservation in the state of Minnesota, USA. We use a spatially-explicit modeling tool, the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST), to estimate how changes in land use and land cover (LULC), including public land acquisitions for conservation, influence...

“Straight to the Heart of Things”— Reflecting on Library Metaphors for Impact and Assessment

Creator:: Stoddart, Richard A.
Abstract:: This paper explores the use and creative application of library metaphors. Unfortunately, the facts aren’t always able to speak for themselves. Simply stating reference statistics, gate counts, and resource circulation numbers are not persuasive narratives in and of themselves. Voice and context needs to be given to these forms of...

Using assessment of NSF data management plans to enable evidence-based evolution of research data services

Creator:: Whitmire, Amanda L., Carlson, Jake, Hswe, Patricia, Wells Parham, Susan, Rolando, Lizzy, and Westra, Brian
Abstract:: Funding agencies increasingly require a data management plan (DMP) with funding proposals, which describe how data generated in the proposed work will be managed, preserved and shared. Data management plans are a rich source of information about an institution’s researchers and their research data management (RDM) knowledge, capabilities, and needs....

Using data management plans as a research tool for improving data services in academic libraries

Creator:: Whitmire, Amanda L., Hswe, Patricia, Westra, Brian, Wells Parham, Susan, and Carlson, Jake
Abstract:: An analysis of Data Management Plans (DMPs) can offer insight into local data management practices. The IMLS- funded “Data management plans as A Research Tool (DART) Project” has developed an analytic rubric to assist librarians in facilitating and standardizing the review of DMPs. This panel will consist of data specialists...

Growing our vision together : forming a sustainability community within the American Library Association

Creator:: Filar Williams, Beth, Charney, Madeleine, and Smith, Bonnie
Abstract:: As long-standing keepers of democracy and information stewardship, library professionals are a natural fit for advocating and promoting sustainability within their communities. From seed libraries to Occupy Wall Street libraries, their view of sustainability extends beyond environmental concerns to include community activism, economic development, and social equity. Empowering people, facilitating...

Using data management plans as a research tool: an introduction to the DART Project

Creator:: Whitmire, Amanda L.
Abstract:: Data management plans (DMPs) are a rich source of information about researchers and their research data management (RDM) knowledge, capabilities, and practices. Systematic analysis of DMPs can uncover important insights about local RDM needs, which can then inform the development or expansion of library RDM services. As part of an...

Using data management plans as a research tool for improving data services in academic libraries

Creator:: Whitmire, Amanda L.
Abstract:: To provide research data management (RDM) support services, libraries need to develop expertise in data curation and management within the library. Many academic libraries are reorganizing to initiate RDM service structures, but may lack staff expertise in this area. Funding agencies increasingly require a data management plan (DMP) with funding...

Identifying Potential Mechanisms Enabling Acidophily in the Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaeon "Candidatus Nitrosotalea devanaterra"

Creator:: Lehtovirta-Morley, Laura E., Sayavedra-Soto, Luis A., Gallois, Nicolas, Schouten, Stefan, Stein, Lisa Y., Prosser, James I., and Nicol, Graeme W.
Abstract:: Ammonia oxidation is the first and rate-limiting step in nitrification and is dominated by two distinct groups of microorganisms in soil: ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). AOA are often more abundant than AOB and dominate activity in acid soils. The mechanism of ammonia oxidation under acidic conditions has...

Amino Acid Uptake in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Plants

Creator:: Whiteside, Matthew D., Garcia, Maria O., and Treseder, Kathleen K.
Abstract:: We examined the extent to which arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi root improved the acquisition of simple organic nitrogen (ON) compounds by their host plants. In a greenhouse-based study, we used quantum dots (fluorescent nanoparticles) to assess uptake of each of the 20 proteinaceous amino acids by AM-colonized versus uncolonized plants....
