<P><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff>To whom it may concern:<BR>I have a short
announcement for the Whiteboard to notify the NSDL community of the updated APS
Archive of Teaching Resources. Thanks in advance!<BR></FONT><BR>The New
APS Archive Collaborative: Building Tools for Library
Partnerships<BR><BR>The American Physiological Society (APS) Archive of Teaching
Resources (2002-2009) is a collaborative digital library with resources
catalogued and peer reviewed by APS and three partners (HAPS, SDB, and
NAHSEP). In 2008 the Archive was redesigned with new features for partner
customization, expanded partnerships, and easier user access. New administration
features allow partners to customize and handle their own submissions and
reviews, including automatic email notifications. New submission features
include partner-specific disciplines, keywords, special fields, and customized
pages. New review features include partner-specific review criteria and forms.
New search functions allow database searching via keyword (all text fields and
vocabulary lists), advanced search (specific partner libraries and specific
vocabularies), and browse (by disciplines, learning resource type and grade
level). The personalized “My Archive” retains its previous functions (saving
searches, saving resources to folders, sharing of folders) while also providing
a listing of users’ submissions and allowing users to track submissions through
the review process. The new Archive is open to Google searches, and login for
the system will be required only for submissions and “My Archive”
features. Please visit the Archive at <A
