This project consists of four tasks aimed at improving the breadth, depth and quality of the Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE): The first task is an assessment of the collections and is being done by systematically comparing the scope and balance of the actual DLESE Collection with the collection desired by the DLESE community, as expressed through searches on the DLESE Discovery system, in community meetings, and through the DLESE Scope statement. For the existing collection, data are being compiled on learning context (grade level), topic, type of learning resource, cost to user, geographic distribution of resources focusing on a particular locality, and temporal distribution of resources focusing on a particular slice of geologic time. For the "desired collection," data area being compiled on search and browse requests made through the Discovery System. Changes over time of both the existing collection and the desired collection are being documented and compared. The second task is building on a prior NSF award supporting a resource gathering effort in Earth and environmental science to build a starter-collection with at least a few resources of interest to a wide range of potential DLESE users. This collections gathering effort is guided by the Collections Assessment, focusing on filling identified gaps or thin spots in the collection, seeking to avoid a "lumpy" collection rich only in those areas collected by specific interest groups. The third task is the cataloging of resources and is being done by the group responsible for the GeoRef catalog of professional literature in the geosciences. The fourth task is the further development and implementation of the Community Review System. The DLESE Community Review System solicits web-based feedback from educators who have used the resource with their learners, and combines it with expert reviews to evaluate resources against a set of seven selection criteria. The scope and breadth of the Reviewed Collection is increasing and Reviewed Collection resources are being showcased. Indices based on information gathered during the review process are being shared with potential resource users, along with editor's comments and teaching tips contributed by users, via an NSDL-style "annotation service." In addition to building the DLESE Collection, this project is contributing to the broader NSDL in several areas of collection development practice and research: methodologies for collections assessment in a digital world, incorporation of collections assessment into digital library evaluation, identification of resources proven effective in challenging and learning and teaching situations, implementation of a community-based review system, and use of an annotation system to disseminate information about educational resources. Significant co-funding of this project is being provided by the Division of Earth Sciences in the NSF Directorate for Geosciences in recognition of the importance that this collection and related activities have for K-12 teachers and undergraduate faculty.

该项目包括四项任务，旨在提高地球系统教育数字图书馆（DLESE）的广度、深度和质量：第一项任务是对馆藏进行评估，通过系统地比较DLESE实际馆藏与DLESE社区期望的馆藏的范围和平衡，通过DLESE发现系统、社区会议和DLESE范围声明来表达。对于现有的收集，正在汇编以下方面的数据：学习背景（年级水平）、主题、学习资源类型、用户成本、以特定地点为重点的资源地理分布以及以特定地质时间片段为重点的资源时间分布。对于“期望的集合”，数据区域将根据通过发现系统发出的搜索和浏览请求进行编译。记录和比较现有集合和期望集合随时间的变化。第二项任务是建立在先前的NSF奖的基础上，该奖支持在地球和环境科学方面的资源收集工作，以建立一个至少有一些资源对广泛的潜在dese用户感兴趣的初始收集。该收集工作由收集评估指导，重点是填补收集中已确定的空白或薄弱点，力求避免只在特定兴趣小组收集的那些领域丰富的“块”收集。第三项任务是资源编目，由负责GeoRef地球科学专业文献编目的小组完成。第四项任务是进一步发展和实施社区审查制度。DLESE社区审查系统向曾与学习者一起使用该资源的教育工作者征求基于网络的反馈，并将其与专家审查结合起来，根据一套七项选择标准对资源进行评估。评审集合的范围和广度正在增加，评审集合的资源正在被展示。通过nsdl风格的“注释服务”，基于评审过程中收集的信息的索引，以及编辑的评论和用户提供的教学提示，将与潜在的资源用户共享。除了建立dese馆藏外，该项目还在馆藏开发实践和研究的几个领域为更广泛的NSDL做出了贡献：数字世界中的馆藏评估方法，将馆藏评估纳入数字图书馆评估，识别在具有挑战性和学习与教学情况下被证明有效的资源，实施基于社区的审查系统，以及使用注释系统传播有关教育资源的信息。美国国家科学基金会地球科学理事会地球科学部为该项目提供了重要的共同资金，以表彰该收集和相关活动对K-12教师和本科教师的重要性。
