This dir contains info about strings searched in the LTER data catalog.

*lis
2 files with an ~8-year record of every search string that has been entered into the LTER data search interface by catalog users (one from each of 2 interfaces). It's simple database output, with 2 columns: "string", "count". There was no processing applied. Credit for collecting this info goes to Duane Costa and Mark Servilla.


*txt
SQL queries producing the output.
