Friends: You may find this information useful. You may want to look at DLESE, The Digital Library for Earth System Education one of the first big digital library projects in the U.S. Please spread the word among earth scientists. You may forward this information to all Geology and Earth Science departments in Indian universities. Best wishes. Subbiah Arunachalam ======= Mary Marlino, director of e-Science and the NCAR Library and former director of DLESE, spoke frankly from personal experience about what to do when the email arrives informing you that your funding will not continue. She explained her planning for sustainability and asked that people think openly about what happens when and if a funding agency might "pull the plug." She introduced DLESE, The Digital Library for Earth System Education one of the first big digital library projects in the U.S. DLESE was a grassroots, community-led project with a completed collection of 13,500 digital educational resources organized into 41 thematic collections. As an organization DLESE was a focal point for community action in geoscience education and developed numerous best practices around building education-based digital libraries. __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!
