  1. CITIDEL: Project -> NSDL • YES!: Do you think the sustainability of NSDL is tied to the sustainability of your project? • How can NSDL not cover computing, IT? • What are some of your experiences sustaining your project that could be applicable to NSDL? • See following. • YES!: Should there be a priority placed on sustaining the technical orAND the organizational infrastructure of NSDL and sustaining and growing its collections and services? OAI, Assembly, Committees,…

  2. CITIDEL: Project -> NSDL • What are some of your experiences sustaining your project that could be applicable to NSDL? • History, Current Status, Future Plans • Content • Services • Summary: Tradeoffs

  3. CITIDEL: History, Status, Future • 1987- NDLTD (electronic theses/dissertations) • 1991-93 CISE IDM (scientific databases) • 1993-97 CISE Education Innovation • (1993-2004 WATERS -> NCSTRL) • 1998-2000 CRIM (, CS Teaching Center) • (2002-2002 iLumina) • 2001-2004 CITIDEL (with 4 partners) • (2003-2005 OCKHAM led by Emory)

  4. CITIDEL: Content • Stimulate Production -> Collect/Organize -> Reward/Publicize • CSTC -> iLumina -> ACM JERIC (J. of Educational Resources in Computing) • Publisher Content -> Community Content -> One-Stop-Shopping -> • ACM Pubs: JERIC + “gray literature in ACM DL” • Ongoing other: • ACM Ed. Board/SIGCSE, … (with ongoing community building and community transformation) • Universities: Virginia Tech, Penn State, Old Dominion, … (CITIDEL-core, CITESEER, NCSTRL, …)

  5. CITIDEL: Services • Aid instructors: IAVT -> VIADUCT • Fast search: ESSEX • Translation center • Tools for collecting, classifying, using • All Components -> DL-in-a-box -> OCKHAM (and Internet Scout?)

  6. CITIDEL: Summary: Tradeoffs • Competing approaches: project sustained vs. NSDL-as-a-whole sustained • Sustainability partners: One vs. multiple associations and publishers • Splitting/connecting • Services, content, community building • Publisher content, gray literature (reports, theses, educational resources), web content
