The NSDL Collaboration Finder: Connecting Projects for Effective and Efficient NSDL Development

该服务项目正在开发一个基于网络的、可搜索和可浏览的数据库工具，以获取有关NSDL项目所涵盖的目标、正在进行的活动、可交付成果、时间表、开发阶段和学科领域的信息。它由NSDL社区合作填充，并根据其共同愿景组织。为了实施合作计划，该项目正在与NSDL社区服务常设委员会合作，以促进现有收藏、服务和有针对性的研究项目的使用。与核心整合团队保持密切协调，以便为NSDL这一关键组成部分的开发提供信息。这项服务的效益评估包括成果措施，如不同NSDL参与者和成员群体使用协作平台的频率和类型，通过使用协作平台产生的新活动的数量和类型，以及在当前和未来的NSDL项目中发展成功协作的有效性和效率。

This Services project is developing a web-based, searchable and browsable database tool to capture information about the goals, ongoing activities, deliverables, schedules, development stages and discipline areas covered by NSDL projects. It is cooperatively populated by the NSDL community and organized by its shared vision. To implement the Collaboration Finder the project is working with the NSDL Community Services Standing Committee to facilitate its use by the existing collections, services, and targeted research track projects. Close coordination with the Core Integration team is being maintained so as to inform the development of this key component of NSDL. Evaluation of the benefits of this service includes outcome measures such as frequency and type of usage of the Collaboration Finder by different groups of NSDL participants and constituents, the number and type of new activities generated through use of the Collaboration Finder, and the effectiveness and efficiencies in developing successful collaborations among current and prospective NSDL projects.
