Collections Policy
A statement of the Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) Collections Policy as developed by the DLESE Collections Committee, commented and revised by community input, approved by the DLESE Steering Committee, and accepted via community voting process of April 2001. The policy details the types of educational materials applicable to earth system science education which DLESE will contain. The policy states that the collection shall favor materials that are well-documented, easy to use, bug-free, motivational for learners, pedagogically effective, scientifically accurate, and which foster mastery of significant understandings or skills. The Collections Scope and Policy was then updated in April 2003 to bring it into alignment with other DLESE policies that were enacted subsequent to the original development of the collection policy.
