This award and Award No. 0435059 constitute a collaborative project.Education and scholarly research, by their very nature, involve scanning, reviewing, and sometimes intensely studying resources about a subject. Libraries, both conventional and digital, tend to provide services only at the level of complete documents and collections of complete documents. Students, instructors, and researchers rarely treat these "complete" resources in a uniform manner. Textbooks and published papers are not necessarily used in their entirety. Sections are not necessarily covered with equal emphasis or in the order in which they appear. Resource materials are not necessarily used verbatim."Superimposed tools," such as those built by the investigators, allow a user to easily select passages in a variety of base document types (e.g., MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, XML, PDF), place them on a scratchpad tool, label them, and arrange them into user-defined groupings and provide annotation. The key functionality in these tools is the ability to select an item (which includes a reference) and return to the original source using the original base application and see the selected passage highlighted. Separation of the notes from the source allows free recombination and reuse in innovative ways. The links are always there so that a user can return to the source context as needed, but the annotations and other marks are separate entities, independent of the source material, and can be combined in any way that supports the user's goals.This NSDL Targeted Research project is evaluating faculty and student use of superimposed tools in undergraduate and graduate computer science classes, including both traditional, textbook-based classes as well as research-oriented, paper-based classes. The tools are being used by the investigators, their colleagues, a high school teacher, and their students. The major goal of the project is to evaluate whether the use of superimposed information supports more effective teaching and learning. The investigators are also developing digital library services that allow superimposed artifacts to be deposited, indexed, searched, and used along with original library resources. Using and elaborating information at subdocument granularity should support reuse of educational materials by other instructors and students.Specific original contributions of this project include (1) extending the scope of digital library facilities to support user tasks beyond the point of simply locating and retrieving resources; (2) enabling the creation of digital library collections that are more precisely targeted at given educational needs by including subdocuments as well as complete documents; (3) supporting the capture of post-retrieval work with digital library resources (comparison charts, concept maps) as explicit, derived documents that can in turn be "value-added" resources in the digital library; (4) capturing elaborations that enhance the understanding of digital library resources in educational settings; and (5) supporting easy customization of such resources by other faculty, students, and researchers.

该奖项和第 0435059 号奖项构成了一个合作项目。教育和学术研究就其本质而言，涉及扫描、审查，有时还需要深入研究某个主题的资源。 无论是传统图书馆还是数字图书馆，都倾向于仅在完整文档和完整文档集合的层面上提供服务。 学生、教师和研究人员很少以统一的方式对待这些“完整”的资源。 教科书和发表的论文不一定全部使用。 各个部分不一定具有同等的重要性或按照它们出现的顺序。 资源材料不一定逐字使用。“叠加工具”，例如由研究人员构建的工具，允许用户轻松选择各种基本文档类型（例如 MS Word、PowerPoint、Excel、HTML、XML、PDF）中的段落），将它们放在便签本工具上，标记它们，并将它们排列成用户定义的分组并提供注释。 这些工具的关键功能是能够选择一个项目（包括参考）并使用原始基础应用程序返回原始来源，并查看突出显示的所选段落。 将笔记与源分离可以以创新的方式自由重组和重用。 链接始终存在，以便用户可以根据需要返回到源上下文，但注释和其他标记是单独的实体，独立于源材料，并且可以以支持用户目标的任何方式进行组合。此 NSDL 目标研究项目正在评估教师和学生在本科和研究生计算机科学课程中使用叠加工具的情况，包括传统的基于教科书的课程以及以研究为导向的纸质课程。 这些工具正在被调查人员、他们的同事、一名高中老师和他们的学生使用。 该项目的主要目标是评估叠加信息的使用是否支持更有效的教学和学习。 研究人员还在开发数字图书馆服务，允许将叠加的文物与原始图书馆资源一起存放、索引、搜索和使用。 在子文档粒度上使用和阐述信息应支持其他教师和学生重复使用教育材料。该项目的具体原创贡献包括（1）扩展数字图书馆设施的范围以支持用户任务，而不仅仅是简单地定位和检索资源； (2) 通过包含子文档和完整文档，能够创建更准确地针对特定教育需求的数字图书馆馆藏； (3) 支持利用数字图书馆资源（比较图表、概念图）将检索后工作捕获为明确的衍生文档，而这些文档又可以成为数字图书馆中的“增值”资源； (4) 进行详细阐述，以增强对教育环境中数字图书馆资源的理解； (5) 支持其他教师、学生和研究人员轻松定制此类资源。
