At MATEC NetWorks right now, we are in the process of writing the NetWorks 2 grant for the NSF.  Yes, surprise, grant submissions are due this year on October 21, 5 pm local time.  Being the curator of the digital library, I will be writing the section of the grant on the digital library.  No longer are digital libraries like regular libraries.  There are many things you can do.  But, this library is not about what I want.  It is about you, the user of MATEC NetWorks digital library.  What do you want the MATEC NetWorks library to be?  Which direction do you want to see it grow? 

Right now the library has over 1200 resources.  I am in the process of going through each resource to make sure that they are relevant, and most importantly, the link still works.  If the link does not work, then I do try to find where the resource was moved to.  We do invite comments about resources and allow users to rank each resource.  But what else do you want?  What makes you use the library, and what would make you come back again and again?  What type of resources would you like to see? 

Please feel free to put your comments down in the comment box.
