Description
Summary:In today's environment of increased expectations, access to comprehensive information in the physical sciences has been a long-standing need of researchers and librarians which can now be met using information technology. The Department of Energy (DOE) envisions the creation of an integrated information infrastructure for the physical sciences where content, technology and service converge to make resources readily accessible, openly available, useful, and usable. Various collections and resources already form a virtual library, the foundation of this endeavor. The proposed information infrastructure is called science.gov and will be pursued as a collaborative effort of DOE and other information providers.
