National Digital Library for Technological Literacy

国际技术教育协会（伊泰亚）和艾森豪威尔国家信息交换所（ENC）正在建立一个全面的（广泛而深入的）数字资源库，以支持技术素养的教学和学习。K-12课堂教师，教师，博物馆馆长和家长正在使用拟议的集合来发现技术素养资源;与这些资源和其他用户互动;定位相关研究;并链接到在线专业发展。伊泰亚提供内容监督，其中包括开发技术素养和描述符的类别;识别数字信息源;以及评估候选资源。ENC正在建立一个强大的电子基础设施，以支持：（与其他协同NSDL项目一起）开发相关和适当的元数据;处理记录和摘要;开发增值用户界面;维护计算机服务，以实现最佳和连续的数字图书馆业务。一个咨询委员会每年为数字图书馆的发展和确定优质数字资源提供投入。目前正在不同用户群体中对收集的资料及其服务进行实地测试，以评估是否易于浏览和发现内容丰富、教学合理的资源。最后，正在探讨各种收藏品可持续性的方法，包括公共和/或私人赞助和订户支持。

The International Technology Education Association (ITEA) and the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse (ENC) are establishing a comprehensive (broad and deep) digital collection of resources that supports the teaching and learning of technological literacy. K-12 classroom teachers, teaching faculty, museum directors, and parents are using the proposed collection to discover technological literacy resources; interact with those resources and other users; locate relevant research; and link to online professional development. ITEA provides content oversight, which includes the development of categories for technological literacy and descriptors; identification of digital information sources; and evaluation of candidate resources. ENC is building a robust electronic infrastructure to support: the development of relevant and appropriate metadata (in conjunction with other synergistic NSDL projects); the processing of records and abstracts; the development of value-added user interfaces; and the maintenance of computer services for optimum and continuous digital library operations. An advisory board is providing annual input into digital library development and identification of quality digital resources. Field testing of the collection and its services is being undertaken with diverse groups of users to evaluate ease of navigation and discovery of content-rich, pedagogically sound resources. Finally, a variety of methods of sustainability for the collection are being explored including public and/or private sponsorship and subscriber support.
