This award is jointly funded by the Directorate for Geosceicnes and the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (National STEM Digital Library). The Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) is a distributed, community-based library dedicated to improving the quality, quantity, and efficiency of teaching and learning about the Earth as a system at all educational levels. As a community-owned library, DLESE is committed to the principles of participatory governance and distributed library construction. The DLESE Program Center (DPC) supports the DLESE mission and the DLESE community by serving as an integrator for community efforts and by providing the basis for program continuity. These integrating and continuity functions are achieved through the provision of technical infrastructure and community support services. The DPC work objectives for this performance period are to: (1) Develop an operational library backbone infrastructure that is tailored to specific geoscience education needs; enables distributed collections and services to act as an integrated whole; and interoperates with other library efforts such as NSDL. (2) Support community capacity building by providing tools, components, and services that enable the development of high-quality collections of teaching and learning resources by community members. (3) Enable systemic change as articulated by the national geoscience educational reform documents through the development of innovative resource discovery interfaces and services. (4) Promote overall library awareness to increase the use of library services by educators and students. (5) Conduct ongoing library operations, including support for community operation of diverse collections and services. (6) Support broad-based community governance. (7) Promote and support DLESE diversity initiatives. (8) Support distributed library evaluations of user experiences, library collections and services, and educational effectiveness. These objectives are informed by the DLESE governing bodies and the broader community, the results of work to date, and the overall library vision as articulated in the DLESE Strategic Plan. The objectives will be measured against two-year and five-year benchmarks for library functionality. These benchmarks were crafted with broad community input, and articulate the stages necessary for library development, growth and sustainability. Meeting these benchmarks requires significant technical developments in the first half of the performance period, with a transition towards an increased operation focus in the latter half. Constant throughout is continued support for DLESE governance and the distributed library building effort. DLESE governance processes are designed to involve community members in all major decisions and to maintain a balance between centralized and decentralized responsibilities. The effort will advance geoscience education by: (1) Establishing DLESE as the premier, trusted source for high quality geoscience education resources. (2) Promoting sustainable library growth through community capacity-building and community participation in library governance, development, and operations. (3) Enabling the library to serve as a catalyst for geoscience educational reform by (a) promoting broad and equitable access to quality geoscience education resources, (b) supporting geoscience literacy goals and Earth systems perspectives, (c) integrating research and education through increased access to and understanding of Earth systems data and data analysis tools, and (d) contributing to the body of evidence on the value and efficacy of digital libraries.

该奖项由地球科学局和教育和人力资源局（国家STEM数字图书馆）共同资助。 地球系统教育数字图书馆（DLESE）是一个分布式的，以社区为基础的图书馆，致力于提高质量，数量和效率的教学和学习地球作为一个系统在所有教育水平。 作为一个社区拥有的图书馆，DLESE致力于参与式治理和分布式图书馆建设的原则。 DLESE计划中心（DPC）通过作为社区工作的集成商和提供计划连续性的基础，支持DLESE使命和DLESE社区。 通过提供技术基础设施和社区支助服务，实现这些整合和连续性职能。 DPC在本执行期的工作目标是：（1）开发一个可操作的图书馆骨干基础设施，该基础设施适合特定的地球科学教育需求;使分布式馆藏和服务能够作为一个整体发挥作用;并与其他图书馆工作（如NSDL）进行互操作。 (2)通过提供工具，组件和服务，使社区成员能够开发高质量的教学和学习资源，支持社区能力建设。 (3)通过开发创新的资源发现界面和服务，实现国家地球科学教育改革文件所阐述的系统性变革。 (4)提高对图书馆的整体认识，以增加教育工作者和学生对图书馆服务的使用。 (5)进行持续的图书馆运作，包括支持社区运作的各种收藏和服务。 (6)支持基础广泛的社区治理。 (7)促进和支持DLESE多样性倡议。 (8)支持对用户体验、图书馆馆藏和服务以及教育效果的分布式图书馆评估。 这些目标是由DLESE理事机构和更广泛的社区，迄今为止的工作成果，以及DLESE战略计划中阐述的整体图书馆愿景所告知的。 将根据图书馆功能的两年和五年基准来衡量这些目标。 这些基准是在广泛的社区投入下制定的，并阐明了图书馆发展、增长和可持续性所需的阶段。 要达到这些基准，就需要在执行期的前半期取得重大技术进展，并在后半期过渡到更加注重业务。 对DLESE治理和分布式库构建工作的持续支持贯穿始终。 DLESE治理流程旨在让社区成员参与所有重大决策，并在集中和分散的责任之间保持平衡。这项工作将通过以下方式促进地球科学教育： (1)建立DLESE作为首要的，值得信赖的来源，高品质的地球科学教育资源。 (2)通过社区能力建设和社区参与图书馆治理、发展和运营，促进图书馆的可持续发展。 (3)使图书馆成为地球科学教育改革的催化剂，方法是：（a）促进广泛和公平地获得高质量的地球科学教育资源，（B）支持地球科学扫盲目标和地球系统观点，（c）通过增加获得和了解地球系统数据和数据分析工具，将研究与教育结合起来，以及（d）为数字图书馆的价值和功效提供证据。
