Gender and Science Digital Library

性别和科学数字图书馆是教育发展中心性别和教育研究所的一个合作项目。和俄亥俄州州立大学的艾森豪威尔国家信息交换所（ENC），旨在创建一个高质量的、互动的K-16性别和科学资源图书馆。GSDL协助教育工作者在正式和非正式环境中促进和实施性别平等的科学教育。这是通过开发，试点和推出一个主要集中在课堂气氛，课程和实践，包括印刷材料，视频，互动网站和其他资源的副本有凝聚力的集合。焦点小组与K-16教育工作者和学生的不同人群，教师准备教师和学生用于开发一个直观的界面，允许多种方法的用户。这些方法被纳入现有的ENC数字图书馆结构。虽然主要读者是K-16科学教育工作者，教师教育工作者和性别平等专家，但该系列对家庭，社区组织和研究人员以及中学后教育的学生也很有用。GSDL的材料来自ENC和妇女教育公平法案（WEEA）资源中心，NSF赠款以及各种科学教育中心和公平援助中心的收藏品。该项目还通过其网站、邮件列表服务器以及与公平和科学网络以及出版商的链接积极征集意见。提交指南，以协助出版商，或开发人员将他们的工作纳入收集到位。根据我们的国家顾问和合作组织制定的标准，对提交的材料进行审查、编目和摘要。图书馆基础设施使用结构化的查询语言关系数据库和USMARC框架，从而使GSDL与国家数字图书馆系统保持一致。

The Gender and Science Digital Library (GSDL), a collaborative project between the Gender and Diversities Institute at Education Development Center, Inc. and the Eisenhower NationalClearinghouse (ENC) at Ohio State University, seeks to create a high-quality, interactive library of K-16 gender and science resources. The GSDL assists educators in promoting and implementing gender-equitable science education in both formal and informal settings. This is accomplished by developing, piloting, and launching a cohesive collection focused primarily on classroom climate, curriculum, and practice, including copies of print materials, videos, interactive websites, and other resources. Focus groups with a diverse population of K-16 educators and students, and teacher preparation faculty and students are used in developing an intuitive interface that allow multiple approaches for users. These approaches are integrated into the existing ENC digital library structure. While the primary audience is K-16 science educators, teacher educators, and gender equityspecialists, the collection is also be useful to families, community organizations, and to researchers, and students in post-secondary education. Materials for the GSDL are from the ENC and Women's Educational Equity Act (WEEA) Resource Center, NSF grants, and the collections of various science education centers and equity assistance centers. The project also aggressively solicits submissions through its websites, listservs, and links to equity and science networks and to publishers. Guidelines for submissions to assist publishers, or for developers to place their work into the collection are in place. Submissions are reviewed, cataloguedand abstracted according to a criteria developed with our national advisors and collaborating organizations. The library infrastructure uses a structured, query-language relational database and the USMARC framework, thus aligning the GSDL with the national digital library system.
