Welcome to the site of a new national library.

The National Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology Education Digital Library (NSDL) is now under construction with funding from the National Science Foundation. The NSDL will offer, via the Internet, high-quality materials for science, mathematics, engineering and technology education. Its initial release is scheduled for the fall of 2002. The NSDL is likely to be the largest and most heterogeneous digital library yet built.

The accessibility of its collections and range of services will enable the NSDL to enhance education in all scientific disciplines across the nation. In the words of NSF program staff, the NSDL
"will strongly affect education at all levels, including preK-12, undergraduate, graduate, and life-long learning, by providing anytime, anywhere access to a rich array of authoritative and reliable interactive materials and learning environments."
