Dear Colleagues:
Please allow me to introduce myself as a member of the Core
Integration effort of the National Science Digital Library,
a
multifaceted enterprise of the National Science Foundation.
I am
writing today to librarians on the discussion list to
request
that they please consider adding a bibliographic record for
NSDL
to their institution's OPAC. The Library's main interface,
http://nsdl.org, as well as
the vast majority (>95%) of content
resources described in the database, are free of charge.
NSDL is
a web-based library of topical collections and patron
services
organized in support of science education and resource
discovery
at all levels. The project began with a partnership of
NSF-funded
collections and related ventures and has since grown into
the one
of the most-diverse digital libraries of academic and
scholarly
resources in science online.
A sample MARC record for NSDL follows.
Of course, we would also welcome your comments, suggestions,
and
questions.
Thank you for your time and kind consideration.
Sincerely,
Michael Luby
