  2. Agenda • Introduction • Curriculum • Digital Library • Examples of Digital Libraries • Digital Library Issues • Needs of Different Users • Complexity Management • Digital Library Requirements • Difference in Student Capabilities • National Level Digital Libraries • Summary and Conclusions

  3. Introduction • Curriculum - a course of study or all of the courses of study offered by an institution. It supports three principal functions: • Presentation • Exploration • Assessment • Digital Library - support curriculums by providing networked resources to students and educators.

  13. Differences such as roles, goals , interests, learning styles, and prior experiences. Techniques for addressing these differences include: Specialization Different user interfaces for different interfaces Adaptive interfaces Addressing the Needs of Different Users

  14. InterBook

  15. Collection management Advanced user interfaces Multivalent documents Walden Paths Managing Complexity

  16. Support for Assessment Creation of educational modules Meeting place for learning New Requirements for Digital Libraries

  17. ELM-ART II

  18. As students are given access to more informational resources through digital libraries, there is a widening gap between the performance of the best and worst students in class. Greater Student Knowledge Differentials

  19. Digital Libraries range from course to national level. National Library for Energy Science and Technology National Digital Library for Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology Represent tradeoffs in: Dependency on external sources Persistence Focus Development Effort Emergence of National Libraries

  20. Individualized user interface gain increased importance. Walden Paths or other techniques are needed to reduce complexity. Digital libraries must encompass assessment, add learning modules, and act as a meeting place for learning. Educators must be aware of student knowledge differentials. We must improve the interoperability of diverse digital libraries. Curriculum Support and Digital Libraries
