Informedia's NSDL Video Collection
Accessing the Collection
The collection is available through The Open Video Project, a shared digital video collection developed at the Interaction Design Laboratory at the School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. The Open Video Project repository is hosted as one of the first channels of the Internet 2 Distributed Storage Infrastructure Initiative,a project that supports distributed repository hosting for research and education in the Internet 2 community.
The collection is
also available at the NSDL site. Full text
search across the video segments is available. For example, to see all
the items in the collection, search on "Informedia at Carnegie Mellon
University" at the NSDL site. To see just the video segments contributed
by Informedia dealing with volcanoes and Mars, search on "Informedia
volcano Mars" (with the 2004 NSDL design, clicking on the "more
info" link shows metadata associated with the video segment, including
a Description" field which holds the text transcript for the video
segment). The
content was made available on this site through the Open Archives Initiative
Protocol for Metadata Harvesting, developed by the Open
Archives Initiative.
Collection Summary
| Subjects | Agriculture (United States), Collisions (Nuclear physics), Earth science, Earthquakes, History of science, Hurricanes, Nature conservation (United States), Solar system, Space Science (1983-1996) |
| Description | The videos produced by NASA cover a very broad range of topics of value to NASA scientists. Topics include: scientific studies in space, on Earth, and the general importance of relating those studies; historical perspectives of NASA's many programs, NASA programs for children that bring educators and scientists "down to Earth" for children to relate to, and documentation of scientific phenomena discovered by NASA or confirmed by NASA. ; The videos produced by the Bureau of Reclamation discuss the historical importance of reclamation projects in the United States to agriculture, industry, recreation, and conservation. ; The videos produced by the FermiLab (with the Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources) give an overview of the construction and experimentation at the laboratory and introduce students of physics to the key figures involved in the analysis of particle collisions. The videos produced by the United States Geological Survey covers a variety of topics including earthquakes, the exotic terrane theory, mapping projects in the ocean, energy, and hurricanes. |
