Extension Bookshelf Includes Resources on Evaluation, Urban Extension ++

I am regularly surprised and delighted by the resources and references built through the collaborations involved with eXtension Foundation.  While eXtension has gone through many transitions, or you may say “innovations” over the years, one thing remains constant – it is run by and with the support of Extension colleagues and the firepower of our Land Grant Universities.

A recent find for me has been the eXtension Foundation Bookshelf (listed under the “TOOLS” menu on the main page of Extension.org as “eFieldbooks“).

The fieldbooks are authored by notable LGU Faculty and Staff and are downloadable for use/reuse.  The format is currently connected to LinkedIn Learning and while I understand it is undergoing a change to improve accessibility – it is even now a great place to find resources that are shareable across the LGU system.

Current titles include:

  • Extension Evaluation Matters
  • Opioid Response v1.2
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion v1.2
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion v2.1
  • Urban Extension v1.1
  • Resilient Agriculture: Weather Ready Farms v1.1
  • Bridging the GAPs: Approaches to Treating Water On Farms v1.1
  • Using Digital Technology in Extension Education v1.1
  • Mass Media: Sustaining Pollinators v1.1
  • KemÄ“cemenaw: Tribal Extension Partnerships That Support Indigenous Food Sovereignty on the Menominee Indian Reservation v1.1

Sometimes the media shares great examples of research and extension connecting and Extension extending…

Just in case you missed this article which focuses on the important work the Opioid PWT co-chairs Anna Steinkraus, Juliana Garcia, and Dr. Elizabeth Day have been working on for the last couple years.

Congrats to their team! We just wanted to share. Research partnership supports NYS families fighting opioids | Cornell Chronicle
