Abstract:The Agriculture Network Information Collaborative (AgNIC) began in 1995 as the Agriculture Network Information Center, a group of four academic libraries and the National Agricultural Library (NAL), with the goal of improving access to reliable agricultural information. One aspect of involvement during the early years was to develop unique subject sites that contained or linked to reliable, curated information on a particular agricultural topic. As the world of online information grew, the focus of AgNIC shifted. In 2013 AgNIC changed the "C" from Center to Collaborative, highlighting a substantive change for the group that had grown to fifty-three members. It moved the partner-members' vision of AgNIC from a series of subject silos, each staffed by librarians who built and maintained them, into a group with a much wider range of goals and interests. This reimagined collaborative explores and acts on agriculture information trends of mutual interest and international importance, including discovery, access, and preservation. Current activities include digitizing and preserving historical agricultural literature as part of Project Ceres, promoting NAL's PubAg portal, and enhancing HathiTrust by systematically requesting the release of state agricultural documents. Moving forward, this long-term partnership provides an avenue for collaboration between the libraries and NAL and opportunities for professional development.

农业网络信息协作组织(AgNIC):在过去的基础上,展望未来

摘要:农业网络信息协作组织(AgNIC)成立于1995年,最初是农业网络信息中心,由四个学术图书馆和国家农业图书馆(NAL)组成,旨在改善对可靠农业信息的访问。早期参与的一个方面是开发独特的主题站点,这些站点包含或链接到有关特定农业主题的可靠的精选信息。随着在线信息世界的增长,AgNIC的重点转移了。2013年,AgNIC将“ C”从“中心”更改为“协作”,突显了对该组织的实质性变化,该组织已发展为拥有53名成员的组织。它使合作伙伴成员对AgNIC的看法脱离了一系列主题孤岛,每个孤岛都由负责构建和维护它们的图书馆员组成,成为目标和兴趣广泛的群体。这种经过重新构想的协作方式探索了具有共同利益和国际重要性的农业信息趋势,并对其采取行动,包括发现,获取和保存。当前的活动包括将数字农业和历史农业文献作为Ceres项目的一部分进行处理,推广NAL的PubAg门户网站以及通过系统地请求发布国家农业文献来增强HathiTrust。展望未来,这种长期的合作伙伴关系为图书馆与NAL之间的合作提供了途径,并为专业发展提供了机会。当前的活动包括将数字农业和历史农业文献作为Ceres项目的一部分进行处理,推广NAL的PubAg门户网站以及通过系统地请求发布国家农业文献来增强HathiTrust。展望未来,这种长期的合作伙伴关系为图书馆与NAL之间的合作提供了途径,并为专业发展提供了机会。当前的活动包括将数字农业和历史农业文献作为Ceres项目的一部分进行处理,推广NAL的PubAg门户网站以及通过系统地请求发布国家农业文献来增强HathiTrust。展望未来,这种长期的合作伙伴关系为图书馆与NAL之间的合作提供了途径,并为专业发展提供了机会。
