Facility Support for the Northern Plant Documentation Center

北方植物文献中心是阿拉斯加大学博物馆标本馆的计算机化数据库和辅助功能的名称。它是从标本馆标本的计算机标签数据中得出的所有活动和产品的总和。作为阿拉斯加最大的维管束植物和第二大苔藓和地衣植物，它是系统学领域的重要资源。用户社区要大得多，因为有关植物及其分布的原始数据是土地规划、环境监测和总体植物学研究的基础。该中心提供了单一的信息来源，这些信息由标本完整地记录下来。没有其他机构既有标本，又有对阿拉斯加植物区系的独特承诺。该项目将支持完成中心持有物的追溯数据银行。随着整个植物区系的良好表现，该中心将能够向不同的客户提供大量重要数据。从其数据库中，它将能够提供其所持资产的摘录或完整记录，以支持详细的专著、概要植物区系、生物名录、环境评估和对稀有植物的研究。完成的数据库将被其他人查询，以计划贷款和实地研究。

The North Plant Documentation Center is the name given to the computerized database and ancillary functions at the Herbarium of the University of Alaska Museum. It is the sum of all activities and products derived from computerized label data of the specimens at the Herbarium. As the largest collection of Alaskan vascular plants and the second largest for bryophytes and lichens, it is an important resource to the field of systematics. The user community is much larger, for primary data on plants and their distributions are fundamental to land-planning, environmental monitoring, and botanical research in general. The center provides a single source for information that is fully documented by specimens. There is no other institution with both the specimens and the singular commitment to the flora of Alaska. This project will support completion of the retrospective data banking of the Center's holdings. With the entire flora well represented, the Center will be able to provide a large amount of vital data to a varied clientele. From its database it will be able to provide excerpts or full records of its holdings in support of detailed monographs, synoptic floras, biotic inventories, environmental assessments, and studies of rare plants. The completed database will be queried by others to plan loans and field research.
