This large-scale national project is investigating how undergraduate students in STEM disciplines use digital learning materials. Much of the work already done by the National STEM Digital Library (NSDL) - especially by the NSDL large "Pathways" collections - assumes that students will be directly connected to the content in the collections, or that they will otherwise find and use the digital resources from collections in ways that assist the depth of their learning. However, little is known about how undergraduates use digital resources. This study will develop a better understanding of the extent and nature of undergraduate use and it will begin to determine the value of digital learning materials to undergraduates. The project is:1. Examining how undergraduates use digital and distributed learning resources and collections2. Documenting how and why they use these resources3. Examining the impact of that use on their learning4. Exploring student perceptions of barriers to the use of NSDL services and programs Following these information collection tasks, the project will begin a second stage to: 5. Identify possible strategies for overcoming barriers to use of digital libraries and distributed learning resources by undergraduate STEM students6. Disseminate the tools developed in this study for use by NSDL projects in developing individual benchmarks regarding their own usage, and7. Establish baseline data for future studies of NSDL usage and impact

这一大型国家项目正在调查STEM学科的本科生如何使用数字学习材料。国家STEM数字图书馆(NSDL)已经完成的许多工作--特别是NSDL大型“路径”藏书--都假定学生将直接与藏书中的内容相联系，或者他们将以有助于其学习深度的方式从藏书中找到并使用数字资源。然而，人们对本科生如何使用数字资源知之甚少。这项研究将加深对本科生使用范围和性质的理解，并将开始确定数字学习材料对本科生的价值。该项目是：1。调查本科生如何使用数字化和分布式的学习资源和集合2。记录他们如何以及为什么使用这些资源3。研究这种使用对他们学习的影响。在这些信息收集任务之后，探索学生对使用NSDL服务和程序的障碍的看法，该项目将开始第二阶段：5.确定可能的策略，以克服本科STEM学生使用数字图书馆和分布式学习资源的障碍6。传播在本研究中开发的工具，供NSDL项目在开发有关其自身使用情况的个人基准时使用，以及7。为未来研究NSDL的使用情况和影响建立基准数据
