Digital Data Practices and the Long Term Ecological Research Program Growing Global
This paper explores data practices in a Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) setting. It describes a number of salient data characteristics that are specific to the LTER program and outlines some central features of the curation approach cultivated within the US LTER network. It goes on to identify recent developments within the international LTER program relating to data issues: increasing heterogeneities due to networking, integration of data from additional disciplines, and new technologies in a changing digital landscape. Information management experience within LTER provides one example of the recurrent balancing inherent to the work of data curation. It highlights (1) taking into account the extended temporal horizon of data care, (2) aligning support for data, science and information infrastructure, and (3) integrating site and network-level responsibilities. LTER contributes to the inquiry into how to manage the continuity of digital data and to our understanding of how to design a sustainable information infrastructure

Units of Evidence for Analyzing Subdisciplinary Difference in Data Practice Studies
Digital libraries (DLs) are adapting to accommodate research data
and related services. The complexities of this new content spans
the elements of DL development, and there are questions
concerning data selection, service development, and how best to
align these with local, institutional initiatives for
cyberinfrastructure, data-intensive research, and data stewardship.
Small science disciplines are of particular relevance due to the
prevalence of this mode of research in the academy, and the
anticipated magnitude of data production. To support data
acquisition into DLs – and subsequent data reuse – there is a need
for new knowledge on the range and complexities inherent in
practice-data-curation arrangements for small science research.
We present a flexible methodological approach crafted to generate
data units to analyze these relationships and facilitate crossdisciplinary
comparisons.Library Services (LG-06-07-0032-07) and National Science Foundation (OCI-0830976).is peer reviewe

Sustainable eLearning in a Changing Landscape: A Scoping Study (SeLScope)
The report begins by exploring the concept of sustainable e-learning - defining it and establishing its characteristics in the context of Higher Education. To ensure a sound and systematic process, the review is informed by a five-phase methodological framework for scoping reviews by Arksey and O'Malley (2005). Examples and perspectives on the concept of sustainable e-learning are summarised and key factors impacting on sustainability are abstracted. highlights potential gaps and suggests directions for further research on the topic
Annual Report: 2008
I submit herewith the annual report from the Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, School of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences, University of Alaska Fairbanks, for the period ending December 31, 2008. This is done in accordance with an act of Congress, approved March 2, 1887, entitled, “An act to establish agricultural experiment stations, in connection with the agricultural college established in the several states under the provisions of an act approved July 2, 1862, and under the acts supplementary
thereto,” and also of the act of the Alaska Territorial Legislature, approved March 12, 1935, accepting the provisions of the act of Congress.
The research reports are organized according to our strategic plan, which focuses on high-latitude soils, high-latitude agriculture, natural resources use and allocation, ecosystems management, and geographic information. These areas cross department and unit lines, linking them and unifying the research. We have also included in our financial statement information on the special grants we receive. These special grants allow us to provide research and outreach that is targeted toward economic development in Alaska. Research conducted by our graduate and undergraduate students plays an important role in these grants and the impact they make on Alaska.Financial statement -- Grants -- Students -- Research reports: Partners, Facilities, and Programs; Geographic Information; High-Latitude Agriculture; High-Latitude Soils, Management of Ecosystems; Natural Resources Use and Allocation; Index to Reports -- Publications -- Facult
Annual Report: 2013
I submit herewith the annual reports from the
Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station,
School of Natural Resources and Agricultural
Sciences, University of Alaska Fairbanks, for the
period ending December 31, 2013. This is done
in accordance with an act of Congress, approved
March 2, 1887, entitled, “An act to establish
agricultural experiment stations, in connection with
the agricultural college established in the several
states under the provisions of an act approved
July 2, 1862, and under the acts supplementary
thereto,” and also of the act of the Alaska Territorial
Legislature, approved March 12, 1935, accepting
the provisions of the act of Congress.
The research reports are organized according to
our strategic plan and by broad subject, focusing
on geography, high-latitude agriculture, forest
sciences, and the interaction of humans and the
environment. Research conducted by our graduate
and undergraduate students plays an important
role in these grants and the impact they make on
Alaska.Financial Statement -- Funding & Grants -- Students -- Research at SNRAS & AFES -- Publications -- Facult
