Science.world

The British Library and the U.S. Department of Energy have signed an agreement to collaborate on the development of a science gateway.

The planned gateway will be called Science.World and will be available to anyone interested in science.

The objectives of the Science.World initiative are to:

• Search dispersed, electronic collections in various science disciplines;
• Provide direct, seamless and free searching of open-source collections and portals;
• Build upon existing and already successful national models for searching;
• Complement existing information collections and systems; and
• Raise the visibility and usage of individual sources of quality science information.
