The Chemical Education Digital Library What Is a Digital Library? The ChemEd Digital Library is one of eleven Pathways projects in the National Science Digital Library, a major project supported by the NSF to improve science education nationwide. Like a traditional library, we aim to provide broad access to a rich, reliable, and authoritative collection of materials. Instead of books, periodicals, and a card catalog, a digital library contains
interactive learning and teaching resources, online searching to find resources, and browsing tools that enable quick access to learning resources a teacher can use on short notice. In addition, the ChemEd DL includes social networking tools that enable two-way communication and participation by both teachers and students. The ultimate goal is to encourage and sustain continual improvements in the quality of chemistry education for all students, and serve as a resource for lifelong learning.
If it is digital and chemical education, ChemEd DL has it!
