  1. Collection Development for an Environmental Science Digital Library Nathan Hall University of North Texas Libraries Environmental Science Digital Library Coordinator nathan.hall@unt.edu

  2. Introduction UNT Libraries’ strategies for creating digital collections and services from datasets and born digital objects serving users outside of formal education and research Nathan Hall, UNT Libraries

  3. Creating digital library services for a broad range of users Citizens Policy makers Voters Nathan Hall, UNT Libraries

  4. UNT Libraries will bring together resources, audiences, and skills from different communities in order to combine research, teaching, and practice. Nathan Hall, UNT Libraries

  5. The Environmental Science Digital Library (ESDL) will host content contributed from institutional partners. Text (books, articles, html, pdf) Images Video Simulations Applications Datasets Much of the ESDL content will be born digital. Nathan Hall, UNT Libraries

  6. Environmental Science Content Long term material selection and review Evaluation And Assessment Outreach through formal/informal education Professional outreach Nathan Hall, UNT Libraries

  7. End of Term Web Harvest Joint web harvest of government domain • California Digital Library • NARA • Internet Archive • University of North Texas Nathan Hall, UNT Libraries

  8. Linking digital libraries to other data sources EPA EnviroMapper for Water application shows areas with advisories regarding mercury and other toxins in fish. State boundaries Congressional districts USGS compiled hydrological units. We envision layering this data with environmental policy data to show correlations between environmental policy and environmental quality. Hypothetical points of municipal battery recycling Nathan Hall, UNT Libraries
