Short report on OSU Libraries' "Web of Science" project. Started in 2012 the research output from Oregon State University (as represented in peer reviewed journal articles) was monitored weekly using an RSS feed from the Web of Science database. When available and where consistent with retained author rights, these articles...
A broad definition of forestry would be the study of trees, forests, and their use by people. Modern science-based forestry is thought to have begun in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked to specialists to address questions of wood supply and extraction both in their forests at home and in...

The Oregon ExplorerTM (www.oregonexplorer.info) strives to support informed decisions and actions by people concerned with Oregon's natural resources and environment. The Oregon Explorer's multi-media environment integrates archived digital documents, mapping and decision support tools, and finding aids for specific natural resource issues and topics. This paper presents the chronology of...
At Oregon State University a library collection assessment is a required part of the review process for every new academic program proposal. Over time, this assessment has moved away from a brief statement regarding the adequacy of the collection to support the new program to a more thorough evaluation and...
This is a redacted version of a two-week investigation of academic libraries offering "24/7" services within the Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA). It was undertaken to better inform Oregon State University Libraries (OSUL) administration of the staffing, security and costs associated with providing such a service. OSUL undertook a pilot...

Collaborative planning to streamline as well as to provide citizens with easier access to geospatial data has a long history in Oregon. A milestone in this process was the launch of the Oregon Spatial Data Library (OSDL) in November 2009. The Oregon Spatial Data Library is a joint effort between...
This presentation provides an overview of the tools and functionality of the Oregon Spatial Data Library (OSDL), partnerships formed to enhance dataset contribution, and user feedback informing the next development phase. Oregon is a natural resource rich state. Those natural resources cut across many jurisdictions. All of these use and...

Although 4- and 5-diacetamidopyrimidines have been reported
in the literature within the past eleven years, it was not until 1965
that a 2-diacetamidopyrimidine was reported. The current investigation
was undertaken to determine whether other 2-diacetamidopyrimi-dines could be synthesized and what the effect of various nuclear substituents would be on the...
Objective. Marijuana is the most widely used illicit substance in the United States and in 2018 alone, an estimated 40.3 million adults reported using marijuana in the past year. As legalization for medical and recreational marijuana has been expanding, perceived risk of using marijuana has been steadily declining since the...

Increases in food demand, favorable commodity markets and drive towards increasing productivity at a greater economic efficiency have accelerated negative agricultural
externalities, particularly erosion and water quality. The potential impact of these externalities on environmental quality and human health prompted an examination of current and potential production strategies on four...
Climate change is expected to increase the occurrence of many climate-related natural hazards. Confidence that the risk of heat waves will increase is very high given strong evidence in the peer-reviewed literature, consistency among the projections of different global climate models, and robust scientific principles that explain why temperatures increase...
Observations of temperature, winds, and atmospheric trace gases suggest that the transition from troposphere to stratosphere occurs in a layer, rather than at a sharp ‘‘tropopause.’’ In the tropics, this layer is often called the ‘‘tropical tropopause layer’’ (TTL). We present an overview of observations in the TTL and discuss...
In an initial research proposal of December 1969, the scientists of the Coniferous Forest Biome (CFB), an ecosystem study centered in the Pacific Northwest and part of the larger International Biological Programme (IBP), expressed optimism that computer simulations and systems modeling could transform empirical knowledge of the carbon, water, and...
Global recognition of the need for ecosystem restoration and revegetation following natural and anthropogenic disturbances has been growing in recent years. Successful programs often depend on the use of nursery-grown seedlings and appropriate mitigation of limiting factors on outplanting sites. Nursery production of high-quality native plants for restoration can be...
Diversity literary awards and other sources were used to create a list of high-quality titles written by and about underrepresented groups.
