Collection Building and Capacity Development for K-12 Federally-Produced Mathematics and Science Education Digital Resources

这个NSDL收藏品项目汇集了通过联邦基金开发的许多科学和数学教育资源，使教师、家长和学生能够轻松而有意义地访问这些资源。它还为确保未来的资源和材料开发遵守标准的元数据模式和标记做法奠定了基础，有效和相关的搜索、导航和内容访问都依赖于这些做法。具体活动包括：i)通过内容管理系统为传统馆藏以及新的数字内容创建元数据；ii)系统审查联邦支持的网站，以确定尚未成为NSDL一部分的资源；iii)使受赠者认识到遵守新的元数据标准和最佳的元数据标记做法的价值；iv)开发包括个性化在内的馆藏获取工具组合；v)与受赠者合作，确保对数学和科学教育数字资源进行存档的权利，以便在授权期结束时不会丢失。项目团队正在与NSDL核心集成工作密切合作，以确保与其他NSDL集合和服务的互操作性。作为该项目最初重点的联邦机构项目包括NSF的各种教学和材料开发项目，以及初级、中等和非正规教育部门、本科教育部门、教育部地区实验室和艾森豪威尔财团内的相关努力。还与博物馆和图书馆服务研究所以及Science e.gov联盟分享了该项目的进展情况。

This NSDL Collections project is aggregating the many science and mathematics education resources developed through Federal funding, to make them easily and meaningfully accessible by teachers, parents, and students. It is also laying the groundwork for ensuring that future resource and materials development adheres to standard metadata schema and tagging practices, on which efficient and relevant search, navigation, and access to content rests. Specific activities include: i) creating metadata for legacy collections as well as new digital content via a content management system; ii) systematically reviewing Federally-supported web sites to identify resources not yet part of the NSDL; iii) building awareness among grantees of the value of compliance with emerging metadata standards and best metadata tagging practices; iv) developing a portfolio of collection access tools including personalization; and v) working with grantees to secure rights to archive mathematics and science education digital resources so they are not lost at the end of a grant period. The project team is working closely with the NSDL Core Integration effort to ensure interoperability with other NSDL collections and services. Federal agency programs that are the initial focus of this project include the NSF's various instructional and materials development programs and related efforts housed within the Division of Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education and the Division of Undergraduate Education, and the Department of Education's Regional Laboratories and the Eisenhower Consortia. Progress on this project is also being shared with the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Science.gov Alliance.
