Building Digital Libraries For Scientific Data: An Exploratory Study Of Data Practices In Habitat Ecology, Christine Borgman, Jillian Wallis, Noel Enyedy

Jillian C Wallis

As data become scientific capital, digital libraries of data become more valuable. To build good tools and services, it is necessary to understand scientists’ data practices. We report on an exploratory study of habitat ecologists and other participants in the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing. These scientists are more willing to share data already published than data that they plan to publish, and are more willing to share data from instruments than hand-collected data.

Policy issues include responsibility to provide clean and reliable data, concerns for liability and misappropriation of data, ways to handle sensitive data about human subjects arising …

All The Right Numbers: Strategies For Locating Industry Sales, Marc Vinyard Aug 2006

All The Right Numbers: Strategies For Locating Industry Sales, Marc Vinyard

Marc Vinyard

Total industry sales will reveal whether an industry is in its infancy, or if it has reached a mature, established stage. If businesspersons or students can obtain figures for multiple years, they will know if the industry is growing or stagnating. Forecasts can help requestors decide if they want to invest in companies within a particular industry or even start a company in that industry. Economists use industry sales figures to assess the significance of an industry for overall economic growth. Clients already involved in an industry can divide the industry's total sales by their company's sales to determine market …

Critical Information Literacy: Implications For Instructional Practice, James Elmborg

James K. Elmborg
