Staff papers are typically short papers that
represent preliminary research results, discuss
works or ideas in progress, stimulate new thinking,
or otherwise are less formal treatments of
a subject than would be published in a research
or extension bulletin.
Many recent staff papers are provided free
of charge in pdf format (linked from the publication
number). If not, copies can be obtained by
contacting the author.
