Construction of Research Collections Addition at the RMBL

Allen-Lohr，Susan 9412945落基山生物实验室（RMBL）是一个独立的，非营利的野外工作站，没有任何机构隶属关系，为希望在野外环境中研究高海拔生物学的研究人员提供设施。 研究人员已经来到RMBL超过六十年。 NSF最近提供的设施赠款帮助了几座建筑的建造和翻新。 该项目将协助RMBL在现有研究图书馆大楼的基础上增加一座建筑，以容纳目前分散在野外站各个壁橱和办公室的各种研究标本收藏（鸟类、昆虫、哺乳动物和植物）。 经过五年的工作和审查，于1989年完成的RMBL总体规划强调了对足够的研究收藏和空间的需求。 改造后的空间将使藏品对RMBL的研究人员更加有用。 配套资金将用于一名收藏品管理员，以及建立一个地理信息系统和向其中添加研究收藏品数据。

Allen-Lohr, Susan 9412945 The Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) is an independent, nonprofit field station with no institutional affiliation, which provides facilities for researchers who wish to study high-altitude biology in a field setting. Researchers have come to the RMBL for more than six decades. Recent facilities grants from the NSF have assisted with construction and renovation of several buildings. This project will assist the RMBL in providing an addition to the current research library building to house the various research specimen collections (birds, insects, mammals and plants) that are currently scattered around the field station in various closets and offices. The RMBL Master Plan, completed in 1989 after five years of work and review, highlights the need for adequate research collections and space to utilize them. The remodeled space will make the collections vastly more useful to researchers at the RMBL. Matching funds will provide for a collections curator, and also the establishment of a geographic information system and the addition of research collections data to it.
