The workshop is specifically designed for those with no or little knowledge of bioinformatics, and begins with a brief tutorial on molecular biology fundamentals and the basic theory behind DNA and protein sequencing. We will then move on to the effective use of NCBI's bibliographic, nucleotide, protein, gene, and genome databases, the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST), and /Cn3D/, NCBI's 3-D visualization tool for proteins. 2006-11-07T17:15:13Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/3743 Title: Metes and Bounds:Agricultural E-Journal Archiving Landscape Authors: Kenney, Anne Abstract: Anne R. Kenney assessed the current state of e-journal preservation efforts as they relate to agricultural literature and discussed the various options currently available, based on a study she and her colleagues conducted on e-journal preservation for the Council of Library and Information Resources (CLIR) and the Association of Research Libraries (ARL). 2006-11-07T17:11:50Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/3728 Title: Building Successful Digital Repositories Authors: Gibbons, Susan Abstract: Ultimately, the success of an institutional repository is dependent on faculty and researchers depositing their materials into it. Using a work practice study methodology and the guidance of a trained anthropologist, Susan Gibbons and others at the University of Rochester, River Campus Libraries undertook an investigation of how an institutional repository may or may not fit into the existing work practices of faculty in different disciplines. Ms. Gibbons shared those findings and suggested ways that an institutional repository can be better aligned with faculty expectations and practices. 2006-11-07T02:04:16Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/3727 Title: Successful Digital Repositories: Selecting an Institutional Repository Model Authors: Rieger, Oya Abstract: Oya Rieger offers strategies to select and implement repository system features and functionality and illustrates a broad range of case studies.
