The Third Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) Annual Meeting, June 29-July 2, 2002 in Ithica, NY

该奖项支持第三届DLESE年会。这次会议将于2002年6月29日至7月2日在纽约伊萨卡的康奈尔大学举行。在年会之前，将举行为期两天的筹备和规划会议。本届年会将为DLESE提供展示图书馆发展进展的机会，并在藏书建设、工具开发、资源发现、元数据和受控词汇开发方面发展和加强现有合作者和新合作者之间的联系。会议将建立一个平台，开发者和图书馆用户都将有机会讨论各种问题。开发人员将能够展示其新的图书馆功能，用户将能够向开发人员提供重要反馈，开发人员和用户将从同行那里了解潜在的使用情况，并提出必要的改进建议，以使图书馆成为一个更强大和更有吸引力的教/学环境，供各级教育活动的学生/教师使用。会议将努力解决以下问题：人口多样性/代表性不足、学术认可、教学评估和评价、社区电子协作的社会学影响，以及在设计新的教学材料方面提供指导和支持的机制，以支持有关地球系统的教/学。年会为代表地球系统教育领域不同利益的领导人提供了一个机会，让他们作为一个社区聚集在一起，共同努力将DLESE塑造为一种服务于我们需求的资源。召集人将邀请115人参加会议。被邀请的人将代表更广泛的社区，包括来自K-12学校的教师、学院和大学教授，以及地球和信息技术科学的研究人员。出于后勤和实际考虑，参与者的最大人数将限制在200人以内。

This award supports the third DLESE Annual Meeting. This meeting will be held at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York from June 29 to July 2, 2002. The annual meeting will be preceded by a two-day preparation and planning meeting. This Annual Meeting will provide DLESE the opportunity to both demonstrate advances in the library's development and develop and strengthen ties between current and new collaborators in collections building, tool development, resource discovery, metadata and controlled vocabulary development efforts. The meeting will establish a platform where both the developers and library users will have opportunities to discuss a variety of issues. The developers will be able to demonstrate their new library functions, the users will be able to provide important feed back to the developers, and both developers and users will learn from their peers about potential uses, and make suggestions for critical improvements needed to make the library a stronger and more attractive learning/teaching environment for students/teachers from all levels of educational activities. The meeting will incorporate efforts to address issues such as diversity/underrepresented populations, academic recognition, pedagogical assessment and evaluation, sociological effects of electronic community collaboration and the development of mechanisms to provide guidance and support in designing new instructional materials that support teaching/learning about the Earth system. The Annual Meeting provides an opportunity for leaders representing these diverse interests in Earth system education to meet as a community and to work together to shape DLESE as a resource that serves our needs. The conveners will invite 115 people to the meeting. The invited people will represent a broader community including teachers from K-12 schools, college and university professors, and researchers in both earth and information technology sciences. The maximum number of participants will be limited to 200 for both logistical and practical concerns.
