One recommendation called for establishing a digital library, similar to those that are being constructed for many research communities, that would make available electronically a wide variety of materials for improving teaching and learning of SME&T.\nThe NSF asked the National Research Council to examine the feasibility of and issues associated with establishing such a digital national library. In response, an NRC steering committee commissioned a series of papers and convened a workshop to consider these issues. This resulting book delineates the issues that should be considered and provides recommendations to resolve them prior to committing funds.", url = "https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/5952/developing-a-digital-national-library-for-undergraduate-science-mathematics-engineering-and-technology-education", year = 1998, publisher = "The National Academies Press", address = "Washington, DC" }
