Oregon's estuaries are important ecosystems for scientific study. Consequently, knowledge of what research has been conducted helps us identify benchmarks and plan new projects. A comprehensive bibliography of published research, technical reports, local documents, and data sets is one means of recording this knowledge. For these reasons, the Guin Library...

The liberal arts have always struggled to find their place in the technically oriented land-grant university. Land-grant universities were tasked by the 1862 Morrill Act with providing both a practical and liberal education for all students. The liberal arts, however, were quickly sidelined from this dual purpose with the increasing...
From 1979 through 1984 the economic bases of rural
Oregon counties have undergone structural change. Nonwage
income, especially transfer payments, has played an
important role in these changes. Demographic changes in
rural counties have contributed to the growth in unearned
income.
The economic structure of rural Oregon counties was
estimated...
Productivity Interfirm Comparison (PIC) is a simple
method used to improve productivity at the firm level,
where a number of firms operate in the same product line so
that performance information on the firms can be compiled
and compared. This results in identifying potential areas
for improvement or exploitation. The...
Identifying the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that determine biological diversity is a central question in ecology. In microbial ecology, phylogenetic diversity is an increasingly common and relevant means of quantifying community diversity, particularly given the challenges in defining unambiguous species units from environmental sequence data. We explore patterns of phylogenetic...
