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

这个NSDL集合项目正在汇集通过联邦资助开发的许多科学和数学教育资源，使教师，家长和学生可以轻松，有意义地访问它们。它还在为确保今后的资源和材料开发遵循标准元数据模式和标记做法奠定基础，而高效和相关的搜索、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遗留收藏品以及新的数字内容创建元数据;（ii）系统地审查联邦支持的网站，以确定尚未成为国家数字图书馆一部分的资源;（iii）提高受赠者对遵守新兴元数据标准和最佳元数据标记做法的价值的认识;（iv）开发收藏品访问工具组合，包括个性化;和v）与受赠方合作，确保对数学和科学教育数字资源进行存档的权利，以便在赠款期结束时不会丢失。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。联邦机构的计划是这个项目的最初重点，包括NSF的各种教学和材料开发计划和相关的努力，设在小学，中学和非正式教育司和本科教育司，教育部的地区实验室和艾森豪威尔财团。该项目的进展情况也正在与博物馆和图书馆服务研究所以及Science.gov联盟分享。

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.
