Has The Ethanol Industry Impacted Nebraska Land Values?, Ben Blomendahl, Bruce B. Johnson

Cornhusker Economics

Rural areas are at an advantage for attracting ethanol plants, as prospective plants want to locate as close as possible to its chief resource - corn. In exchange for locating near its feedstock, ethanol plants offer higher prices in the competition for corn, which in turn has impacted farm income.

Incorporating Vendor-Created Training Into Information Literacy Instruction: A Case Study, Carissa Holler

Communications in Information Literacy

In Fall 2007, the Library and the Department of Finance at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign collaborated to offer a course that would not only assist students in achieving vendor-sponsored certification in the use of a fundamental financial resource, but would also enhance the students' educational experience by incorporating elements of information literacy instruction. This paper profiles the librarian-instructor's process of creating and conducting the course with the vendor's certification program embedded therein. Outcomes of the course, insights gained from the experience, and recommendations for other librarian-instructors are also discussed.
