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

这个大规模的国家项目正在调查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）已经完成的大部分工作——特别是NSDL的大型“路径”馆藏——假设学生将直接与馆藏中的内容联系起来，或者他们将以其他方式从馆藏中找到并使用数字资源，以帮助他们深入学习。然而，人们对大学生如何使用数字资源知之甚少。这项研究将更好地理解大学生使用数字学习材料的程度和性质，并将开始确定数字学习材料对大学生的价值。项目是：1；研究大学生如何使用数字和分布式学习资源和收藏2。记录他们如何以及为什么使用这些资源。检查这种使用对他们学习的影响。在完成这些信息收集任务后，该项目将开始第二阶段：5。确定可能的策略，以克服STEM本科生使用数字图书馆和分布式学习资源的障碍6。传播本研究中开发的工具，供NSDL项目在开发有关其自身使用的单独基准时使用。为NSDL使用和影响的未来研究建立基线数据
