With the help of a $650,000 gift from recently deceased Prof. Emerita Helen L. Wardeberg, education, Mann Library and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences –– which will each receive half of the donation –– will be making adjustments to improve their services for the Cornell community.

The Essential Electronic Agricultural Library, a Cornell-run program that has helped researchers all over the world gain access to agricultural journals, will expand to 50 more countries this year.

Faculty in the Architecture and Horticulture departments joined forces to inform their students about sustainability and to involve them in The Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES), a program aimed at creating sustainable landscapes in any surrounding. 

Administrators claim that the move will make entomology resources available to a wider community and free up space for the University in the process.

A new exhibition at Mann Library, "The Sweet-Voiced Bird has Flown: Portraits of Common Birds in Decline," combines the aritistic talents of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators with the confounding research in the science community. It illustrates threatened birds, facing the possible perils of climate change and human development.

The current lobby exhibit in Mann Library, entitled “Backyard Revival: American Heritage Poultry,” follows the transformation of American poultry production from early family operations into modern industrial giants.

Less than 100 years ago, Americans produced the vast majority of their poultry in small-scale businesses. Family-owned operations on rural farms and in local town communities bred small flocks of hens.
