Abstract :
A community-based process was used to develop shared evaluation goals and instruments to begin evaluating the National Science Digital Library (NSDL). Results from a pilot study examining library usage, collections growth, and library governance processes are reported. The methods used in the pilot included Web log usage analysis, collections assessment techniques, survey instruments, and semistructured interviews.
