What is the goal of your collection-building effort?ĭLESE's collection-building goal is: "To assemble and foster the creation of educational materials from the community that are rich in science content diverse in format, content, and topics covered fresh, dynamic, and interactive instructor-ready and integrative across traditional disciplines." Ī public or academic library typically begins with a pre-defined, semi-captive user base, for whom the library collections and services are specifically developed. For each question, we articulate DLESE's answer, recognizing that different answers may be appropriate for other libraries. This section of the article concerns questions for which the DLESE community has agreed upon at least tentative answers. The intended audience includes builders of other education-oriented digital libraries who wish to know what lies ahead, and users of DLESE who wish to understand how DLESE works and why. The first part of the article describes questions for which DLESE has found at least tentative answers the latter part describes tensions and challenges with which DLESE is still grappling. This article articulates some of the major questions and challenges that we, and our many collaborators, have faced while building the DLESE collections. It's easy to write these words, but much harder to build a library that lives up to this promise. The National Science Digital Library (NSDL) and its component Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) offer the potential of a fundamental paradigm shift, in which educators craft educational resources in their area of greatest expertise and interest, and draw upon a national library of existing, high-quality materials for teaching and learning about other topics.
