My theory here is that reference books devoted solely/specifically to Minnesota
subjects are (logically enough) in many locations. The "main" Minnesota (history,
mostly) call number is F601 through F615, and for that range I'm listing only
the most useful/used titles there. For the rest of the room, I'm trying to
list "everything," even if very old, very specialized, and/or very obscure.

U. of Minnesota Seeks to Share Expertise With Outsiders
By GOLDIE BLUMENSTYK
Concierge service is no longer just for classy hotels.
In a quest to make its expertise more available to local industries and civic organizations, the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities has begun to quietly roll out the higher-education equivalent, in a program it calls the Front Door.
The service, a project of the university's newly created Academic and Corporate Relations Center, is designed to make the university more "transparent" to outsiders.
"What we wanted to do is bring down the walls," says R. Timothy Mulcahy, vice president for research.
As part of the new effort, the university has hired five "relationship managers" with expertise in areas like health care and engineering, each of whom has been assigned about 20 companies and organizations that are considered their accounts.
The managers learn about the research needs of their accounts. If the companies or organizations need research or other assistance from the university, the managers can help them identify appropriate people to take on the work, either as consultants or in sponsored-research.
Companies and other organizations not designated as accounts can also contact the Front Door office for help. Mr. Mulcahy says the staff members there will make sure inquiries get a clear and quick response. "We do not play phone tag with you," he says.
Since the university is part of the 20-member Midwest Research University Network, Front Door personnel will also draw upon faculty researchers at other institutions in the region.
The Front Door is just one example of the ways universities are trying to be more helpful in economic development and civic life.
In this case, the effort was partly prompted by a high-profile push from prominent corporate and community leaders in the region, who three years ago came together as the Itasca Project and identified several community issues that needed attention to keep the Twin Cities economically competitive.
The opaqueness of the university ranked high on the list, along with transportation and racial relations, says James R. Campbell, a retired banker who is chairman of the Itasca Project. (It's named after a state park.)
"It's a huge university, and there's all kinds of research going on up and down the halls," but companies do not have easy ways to learn about it, says Mr. Campbell.
He says the new structure suggests that the administrators got the message: "They've rewired the university to be significantly more responsive."
Mr. Mulcahy says the service seems to be striking a chord. The office has yet to even publicly announce the program, he says, and "we're already getting 10 calls a day."

** Registry of US Government Publication Digitzation Projects
Did you know there was a Registry of US Government Publication Digtization Projects? Me neither. But there is, and you can both contribute your institutions projects and browse through the existing ones at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/legacy/registry/. There's not a lot here, unfortunately, though I like what I do see.
You can do a simple keyword search with the site, or you can browse. I think I like the browsing page better; you can browse by project title, institution name, category of project, project status, and those projects which are searching for partners.

Some of the material from the site above is in the On-Line Books Page, but a lot
(most?) is not. A few collections of possible special interest to clients we
get at the Wilson Reference desk (especially History Day students and other
primary source fans):

About the Collection
Germany Under Reconstruction The Germany Under Reconstruction digital collection provides a varied selection of publications in both English and German from the period immediately following World War II. Many are publications of the U.S. occupying forces, including reports and descriptions of efforts to introduce U.S.-style democracy to Germany. Some of the other books and documents describe conditions in a country devastated by years of war, efforts at political, economic and cultural development, and the differing perspectives coming from the U.S. and British zones and the Russian zone of occupation. At the same time, the Germans themselves and the occupying forces look back at the National Socialist period and try to come to terms with what had happened.

http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/FRUS/
The Foreign Relations of the United States series is the official documentary historical record of major U.S. foreign policy decisions that have been declassified and edited for publication. The series is produced by the State Department's Office of the Historian and printed volumes are available from the Government Printing Office.
FRUS begins with the administration of Abraham Lincoln in 1861. There are two cumulative indexes covering 1861-1899 and 1900-1918. The organization of FRUS is generally chronological, but the dates of the volumes do not necessarily reflect the dates of documentary history. For example, the volumes for 1900-1918 do not include the records dealing with World War I or the Russian Revolution. Each volume has a subject and author index. There is also typically a table of sources and abbreviations at the beginning of each volume
Many volumes published since 1960 are available online on the State Department website that is maintained by the University of Illinois at Chicago. A full description of Foreign Relations of the United States, including a listing of the online FRUS volumes, is available from the
Foreign Relations of the United Statesis a project of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Chicago Libraries. This is an incomplete run from 1861-1960 with missing volumes being added as they can be acquired and processed.

Historical Publications of the
United States Commission on Civil Rights
USCCR logoSince its inception in 1957, the United States Commission on Civil Rights has been at the forefront of efforts by the Federal Government and state governments to examine and resolve issues related to race, ethnicity, religion and, more recently, sexual orientation. Although the fortunes of the Commission have ebbed and flowed with changes in presidential administrations, the Commission has continued to be a vital part of the effort to build an America that is truly equal. By providing access to the historical record of this important federal agency, the Thurgood Marshall Law Library will offer scholars an opportunity to examine the efforts of the Commission more closely.
In conjunction with the Thurgood Marshall Law Library's strategic plan to enhance its civil rights collection in support of the School of Law's teaching and research mission, the Library has worked since 2001 to create a complete electronic record of United States Commission on Civil Rights publications held in the Library's collection and available on the USCCR Web site. The publications are made available over the Internet as page image presentations in PDF format. Each item is linked to the appropriate bibliographic record in the Catalog. Publications are also searchable by keyword and accessible by date and title.
****************
There are also dozens of collections relating to agriculture, law, regulatory
history, business/econ, science/tech, etc. Most or all can be keyword searched across
full text (6,192 matches on word Iraq the Public Papers of the US file,
for instance).

A ceiling tile in the general collection on the 4th floor was leaking this morning. The books in the section under the leak have been removed from the shelves and spread out on tables on the 4th floor for air to circulate around them. Sharon has contacted Facilities Management to handle the leak and Karl has been notified about the books.
