N1 - Funding Information:
and received in July 2002 a grant from the Agricultural Telecommunications Program, which is administered by the Agricultural Distance Education Consortium (ADEC) and Cornell University. This grant funded a second workshop in March 2003, to bring together the regional collaborators again. It will also help support the development of the technical foundation for the regional gateway, which will be established through a regional metadata database to interface with the national AgNIC database system. Plans were to provide metadata training for all regional collaborators during the 2003 workshop. At the same time, the workshop will be used as a forum for demonstrating state-specific accomplishments and plans, and for discussing next steps in the development of the regional collaboration.

N2 - Construction of the Rangelands of the Western U.S. web site provides a dynamic model for information outreach. Central to its success is the collaboration between librarians, other information professionals, and rangeland experts committed to working together for a common goal: a selective, centralized, web-based resource designed to help meet the information needs of rangeland scientists, range professionals, students, faculty, ranchers, environmentalists, librarians, and other stakeholders. Begun over eight years ago by a University of Arizona AgNIC Project team, the effort is extending to include participation of range and information professionals from the other Western states. In addition to linking to existing digital content, the project seeks to create or support the creation of critical electronic information resources through an integrated user interface.
