Incorporating an Internet-Mediated Community of Practice for the Analytical Sciences Into the Analytical Sciences Digital Library

分析科学数字图书馆（ASDL）是一个基于网络的资源集合，用于分析科学的本科STEM教育。该项目通过增加新的服务来提高ASDL的实用性，以促进图书馆对用户的可见性，并促进教师和分析科学从业者之间的社区建设。图书馆的新功能包括通过电子邮件警报或RSS提要等实用程序自动通知新添加的内容，用户可以组织ASDL内容的个人空间，允许用户对图书馆内容进行评级和注释的系统，用户生成的讨论论坛以及基于图书馆内容分享教学方法的能力。增加的功能强调创建一个以学科为中心的互联网为媒介的实践社区，作为NSDL数字图书馆如何促进资源共享开发并将偏远地区的教师聚集在一起的模式。通过该项目开发的以互联网为媒介的实践社区是扩大综合大学、文科学院和社区学院教职员工参与的典范。ASDL的功能累积工作，以增加本科分析科学的有效教学和资源。

The Analytical Sciences Digital Library (ASDL) is a web-based collection of resources for undergraduate STEM education in the analytical sciences. This project increases the usefulness of the ASDL by adding new services to promote the library's visibility to its users and foster community building between teachers and practitioners of the analytical sciences. New features to the library include automatic notification of newly added content through utilities such as email alerts or RSS feeds, personal space where users can organize ASDL content, a system to allow user ratings and annotations to library content, user-generated discussion forums and the ability to share pedagogical methods based on library content. The added features emphasize the creation of a disciplinary-focused internet-mediated community of practice to serve as a model for how an NSDL digital library can foster shared development of resources and bring together faculty from remote regions. The internet-mediated community of practice developed through this project serves as a model for broadening participation by faculty members at comprehensive universities, liberal arts colleges, and community colleges. The ASDL features cumulatively work to increase effective teaching and resources for undergraduate analytical sciences.
