TL;DR: It is determined that while many federated search problems were solved, some issues persisted and overall, the move to EBSCO Discovery Service at Milner Library has been a positive experience for its users.

TL;DR: The unique aspects of this article include the use of focus groups to gather feedback on federated searching and the discussion of incorporating a federated search engine into a library website.

TL;DR: This book chapter was first published in: "Curating Research Data" published by the American Library Association, Association of College and Research Libraries.

Abstract: This study compared practices and policies of 24 crop science journals to selected National Information Standards Organization/National Federation of Advanced Information Services (NISO/NFAIS) recommendations for online supplemental journal article materials. The studied recommendations include the display of supplementary materials, digital object identifiers (DOIs) for supplementary materials, and clear preservation statements regarding supplementary materials. This study also investigated missing supplementary materials on 18 of the journal websites. The findings reveal some potential roles for librarians and libraries, especially those with institutional repositories, which could better facilitate long-term access, data citation, and data reuse.

TL;DR: In this paper, a bibliographic study gathered information about the data practices of crop scientists from their publications, and two recent articles were reviewed from each faculty member in the Department of Crop Sciences, University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences.
