Digital Library Will House World's Largest Collection of
Science-Related Material The National Science Digital Library (NSDL),
a National Science Foundation (NSF) website, offers free
science-related resources to the public, including text, graphics,
interactive video, links, and other resources pertinent to computing,
engineering, global mapping, physics, mathematics, earth science,
paleontology, and more. By 2007, the site will house the largest
collection of science-related material available on the Internet, and
it will include three portals mega-websites that can personalize a
broad array of Internet functions. The portals will be titled Using
Data in the Classroom, NSDL Educators Portal, and Science Pictures.
The digital library opened to the public in December 2002, and NSF
continues to accept proposals for projects that enhance the quality
and widen the scope of the site. Currently, 119 projects have
received NSF funding for inclusion on the site. These projects
consist of smaller-scope digital libraries (such as the Digital
Library for Earth System Education), message boards that link
visitors with experts, collections of news articles, and more. (From

PLANNED FLOODING AHEAD OF SCHEDULE AT CHINA'S MASSIVE THREE GORGES DAM
from The Associated Press
WUSHAN, China (AP) - The first stage of filling the vast reservoir behind
the Three Gorges Dam in central China has been completed five days ahead of
schedule, state media said Wednesday.
The reservoir on the Yangtze River, which started to fill June 1, has
flooded dozens of towns and small cities. The communist government is
moving some 1.3 million people out of the densely populated area that is to
be inundated.
The reservoir's water level reached its first target depth of 445 feet on
Tuesday evening, newspapers and the Xinhua News Agency said. They said that
is the minimum required for river freighters and passenger ferries to sail
on the reservoir and for the dam's turbines to begin generating power.
The $22 billion dam is the world's biggest hydroelectric project - and one
of its most controversial.
