The high cost of textbooks: a convergence of academic libraries, campus bookstores, publishers?

Creator:: Pollitz, John H. and Christie, Anne
Abstract:: Recent publications about the rising cost of college textbooks by the Public Interest Research and the US Government Accountability Office have caused student groups across the country to explore novel ways to address the problem. Students, publishers, bookstores and academic libraries, because of their role of managing course reserves, are...

Evidence of Tree Species’ Range Shifts in a Complex Landscape

Creator:: Monleon, Vicente J. and Lintz, Heather E.
Abstract:: Climate change is expected to change the distribution of species. For long-lived, sessile species such as trees, tracking the warming climate depends on seedling colonization of newly favorable areas. We compare the distribution of seedlings and mature trees for all but the rarest tree species in California, Oregon and Washington,...

Describing grey literature again: a survey of collection policies

Creator:: Lehman, Heather and Webster, Janet G.
Abstract:: At Oregon State University, we are exploring the differences between collections formed by digitizing existing materials on our shelves and those created by identifying and acquiring digital objects beyond our library. One example is the proposed Tsunami Digital Library (TDL) that would support a growing research program with users needing...

Measuring the Magic: Assessment in the Special Collections and Archives Classroom

Creator:: Bahde, Anne and Smedberg, Heather
Abstract:: The article discusses effective methods for measuring the success of classroom instruction using original primary sources in special collections and archives and how to translate these effects to demonstrate learning impact that can be used in other assessment projects. The global economic crisis has reportedly pushed assessment activities in libraries...

Isolating the effects of storm events on arctic aquatic bacteria: temperature, nutrients, and community composition as controls on bacterial productivity

Creator:: Adams, Heather E., Crump, Byron C., and Kling, George W.
Abstract:: Storm events can pulse nutrients and carbon from soils and provide an important subsidy to food webs in oligotrophic streams and lakes. Bacterial nutrient limitation and the potential response of stream aquatic bacteria to storm events was investigated in arctic tundra environments by manipulating both water temperature and inorganic nutrient...

Metacommunity dynamics of bacteria in an arctic lake: the impact of species sorting and mass effects on bacterial production and biogeography

Creator:: Adams, Heather E., Crump, Byron C., and Kling, George W.
Abstract:: To understand mechanisms linking ecosystem processes and microbial diversity in freshwater ecosystems, bacterial productivity and the metacommunity dynamics of species sorting and mass effects were investigated in an 18 ha headwater lake in northern Alaska. On most sampling dates, the phylogenetic composition of bacterial communities in inflowing streams (inlets) was...

Effect of inventory method on niche models: Random versus systematic error

Creator:: Lintz, Heather E., Gray, Andrew N., and McCune, Bruce
Abstract:: Data from large-scale biological inventories are essential for understanding and managing Earth's ecosystems. The Forest Inventory and Analysis Program (FIA) of the U.S. Forest Service is the largest biological inventory in North America; however, the FIA inventory recently changed from an amalgam of different approaches to a nationally-standardized approach in...

Density fractionation and 13C reveal changes in soil carbon following woody encroachment in a desert ecosystem

Creator:: Throop, Heather L., Lajtha, Kate, and Kramer, Marc
Abstract:: Woody encroachment has dramatically changed land cover patterns in arid and semiarid systems (drylands) worldwide over the past 150 years. This change is known to influence bulk soil carbon (C) pools, but the implications for dynamics and stability of these pools are not well understood. Working in a Chihuahuan Desert...

Wind farm potential is higher in prime habitat for uncommon soil crust lichens

Creator:: Root, Heather T., McCune, Myrica, and McCune, Bruce
Abstract:: Introduction: Biotic soil crust communities contribute valuable ecosystem services and biodiversity in steppe ecosystems. The uncommon crust lichens Acarospora schleicheri, Fuscopannaria cyanolepra, Rhizocarpon diploschistidina, and Texosporium sancti-jacobi are associated with fine-textured soils along rivers of the Columbia Basin. A. schleicheri and R. diploschistidina indicate late-successional habitat and may serve as...

Going Beyond Hooked Participants: The Nibble-and-Drop Framework for Classifying Citizen Science Participation

Creator:: Fischer, Heather, Cho, Holly, and Storksdieck, Martin
Abstract:: Many citizen science (CS) programs aim to grow and sustain a pool of enthusiastic participants who consistently contribute their efforts to a specific scientific endeavor. Consequently, much research has explored CS participants’ motivations and their relationship to participant recruitment and retention. However, much of this research has focused on actively...
