Collection Service Activities at the New York Botanical Garden Herbarium

纽约植物园(NYBG)是国家系统学研究资源中心，是国家S最大的植物和真菌标本库。它是一个庞大的、积极管理的和密集使用的标本收藏，代表了所有植物和真菌组的5600,000多个标本，并在世界范围内。由于藏品的规模和丰富，NYBG植物标本馆是世界各地植物学研究的主要研究材料来源。几乎所有对美洲和东半球部分地区植物的主要分类修订都包括对保存在NYBG植物标本馆的标本的检查。纽约植物园植物标本馆定期发送的标本比世界上任何其他植物标本馆都多。在过去的五年里，向46个国家和美国48个州的361个草本植物提供了232,927个标本的借阅。平均每年发送46,585份标本(677份贷款)。在同样的五年中，在27种接受调查的期刊中，有1098篇文章引用了NYBG标本的使用。在同一时期，来自66个国家和美国39个州的1158名访问研究人员使用该藏品10644人日。该项目将使纽约植物园植物标本馆能够继续为植物学研究人员社区和其他植物信息用户提供高水平的服务。

The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) a National Systematics Research Resource Center, is the country s largest repository of plant and fungal specimens. It is a vast, actively managed, and intensively use collection of more than 5,600,000 specimens representing all plant and fungal groups and is worldwide in scope. Because of the size and richness of the collection, the NYBG Herbarium serves as a primary source of research materials for botanical studies throughout the world. Virtually all major taxonomic revisions of plants of the Americas and parts of the Old World include examination of specimens deposited in the NYBG Herbarium. The New York Botanical Garden Herbarium regularly sends more specimens on loan than any other herbarium in the world. In the past five years, loans of 232,927 specimens were sent to 361 herbaria in 46 foreign countries and 48 states of the USA. An average of 46,585 specimens (677 loans) were sent each year. In these same five years, in the 27 journals surveyed, 1098 articles cite use of NYBG specimens. During this same period, 1158 visiting resea rchers from 66 foreign countries and 39 states of the USA spent 10,644 person-days using the collection. This project will enable the New York Botanical Garden Herbarium to continue its high level of service to the community of botanical researchers and other users of plant information.
