The National Research Council's Center for Science, Mathematics. and Engineering Education (The Center) proposes to undertake for the National Science Foundation a project that would examine the need, options, and issues in establishing a digital National Library for Undergraduate Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology (SME&T) Education (hereafter referred to as the "National Library"). The purpose of such a library would be to provide a comprehensive, dynamic, and readily accessible and searchable collection of high-quality educational material in undergraduate science, mathematics, and engineering education that is intended to facilitate and enhance the NSF's programs to improve and evaluate undergraduate teaching and learning. To facilitate the work of the NSF, the NRC will assess the strategy, and potential effectiveness for the Foundation to develop a National Library. The proposed NRC project will produce a consensus report of findings and recommendations concerning the need for a digital National Library for Undergraduate SME&T Education, and the options, timeline, and components that will be important for planning a National Library. First, background papers on key subjects by acknowledged experts will be commissioned to provide state-of-the-art surveys of current opportunities for establishing a National Library and the challenges that NSF must confront if the Foundation decides to fund the National Library. Second, these papers will be presented and discussed at a two-day workshop to be attended by individuals with technical expertise in digital libraries, representatives from the federal agencies sponsoring national library projects, college/university faculty and students, and representatives from the corporate sector. Third, workshop proceedings will be developed to summarize the outcome of the workshop and offer recommendations about the feasibility and logistics for developing a National Library for undergraduate SME&T education. The proceedings will be delivere d to the Foundation in mid-September, 1997.

国家研究理事会科学、数学中心。该中心建议为国家科学基金会承担一个项目，该项目将研究建立本科科学，数学，工程和技术（SME T）教育数字国家图书馆（以下简称为“国家图书馆”）的必要性，选项和问题。 这样一个图书馆的目的是提供一个全面的，动态的，易于访问和搜索的高质量的教育材料在本科科学，数学和工程教育，旨在促进和加强NSF的计划，以改善和评估本科教学和学习。 为了促进NSF的工作，NRC将评估基金会发展国家图书馆的战略和潜在有效性。 拟议的NRC项目将产生一个共识报告的调查结果和建议，有关需要一个数字国家图书馆本科中小企业T教育，以及选项，时间轴，将是重要的规划国家图书馆的组成部分。首先，将委托知名专家撰写关于关键主题的背景文件，以提供关于建立国家图书馆的当前机会的最新调查，以及如果基金会决定资助国家图书馆，NSF必须面对的挑战。 其次，这些论文将在为期两天的研讨会上提交和讨论，参加研讨会的有数字图书馆技术专家、赞助国家图书馆项目的联邦机构的代表、学院/大学的教师和学生以及企业界的代表。 第三，研讨会的程序将制定总结研讨会的成果，并提供有关的可行性和物流发展本科中小企业T教育的国家图书馆的建议。 会议记录将于1997年9月中旬送交基金会。
