Other groups also contributed to the project during the last year: • The CME Foundation gave us a grant for $12,000 to digitize and upload two ceased journals from Stanford’s Food Research Institute (Food Research Institute Studies and Wheat Studies). The project is nearly complete. • The National Agricultural Library extended the small grant we received in 2011, allowing us to continue digitizing older working papers we obtained from UC-Berkeley. • The University of Minnesota Libraries awarded us a $3,000 grant to cover student expenses for uploading copies of papers that were already in digital format but were not held in a repository. • AAEA covered the scanning and uploading costs for making the print-only volumes of Choices (1986-2002) available. • IAAE provided travel funds and waived our expenses to have an exhibit at their meeting in Brazil. • AARES provided travel funds and provided booth space for us at their 2012 meeting in Fremantle, and this allowed us to make progress on our data archiving project. • University of Minnesota Department of Applied Economics and the University Libraries provided travel funding as well as in kind support for librarian and computer professional salaries, student salaries, supplies, hardware, and software. • A University of Minnesota Libraries team provides technical support for AgEcon Search as needed, and the group includes a Web application developer, a Web designer, and the manager of the Libraries’ Digital Library Services group. In 2012, the AgEcon Search Special Purpose Fund was chartered at the AAEA meeting so we will be able to begin utilizing proceeds from the fund next year. On the Horizon A move to a new software platform will be finalized in 2013. In order to make the journal articles even more easily accessible, we hope to arrange for DOIs (digital object identifiers) for each article. We will offer the possibility of hosting data in Dataverse to additional groups in the upcoming year. In an effort to include more research produced in the developing world, we are negotiating with journals from Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Pakistan and hope to be adding them soon.
