Educational Resources
Produced by the American Association for Physics Teachers, this site provides a central, comprehensive information base for college/university faculty who teach upper-level undergraduate laboratories. These include, but are not limited to, labs in electronics, condensed matter, optics, atomic physics, mechanics, and the like -- and also researched-based, independent-study labs. Accepted resources will be available by browsing or searching the collection by content topic or resource type.
AMSER (Applied Math and Science Education Repository) is a portal of educational resources and services built specifically for those in community and technical colleges, but free for anyone to use. AMSER is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as part of the National Science Digital Library, and is being created by a team of project partners led by Internet Scout.
A NSDL Pathway, BEN Collaborative partner organizations provide access to over 4,700 reviewed resources covering 77 biological sciences topics. BEN provides resources, tools, and professional development for educators at the high school and undergraduate levels. BEN is managed by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Established by AIP, the mission is to preserve and make known the history of modern physics and allied fields. The history of a community offers invaluable guidance. It shows what has worked well in the past, and what has not; it tells us what we are like, and how we became that way. History not only aids the physics profession in its work, but attacks misconceptions that the public holds about the nature of the scientific endeavor. Myths can be put to rest only by facts and informed analysis.
Provided by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the Journal of Chemical Education (JCE). The ChemEd DL offers browsable access to multiple collections and services from the the Journal of Chemical Education DLib and the American Chemical Society Education Division. ChemEd DL creates news communities centered around different education levels (e.g. undergraduate), provides resources in different sub-disciplines of chemistry (e.g. physical, inorganic), and different pedagogical areas.
Incorporate the history of the chemistry and the molecular sciences into the classroom with these online resources from CHF.
Through a partnership of authors and organizations ComPADRE acts as a steward for the educational resources used by broad communities in physics and astronomy by creating and sustaining a network of collections that provide learning resources and interactive learning environments. ComPADRE resources positively influence physics and astronomy students and their teachers in both individual and collaborative settings.
Part of the National Science Digital Library Pathway collection, the Engineering Pathway is a portal to high-quality teaching and learning resources in engineering, applied science and math, computer science/information technology, and engineering technology. EP is designed for use by K-12 and university educators and students.
The Journal of Chemical Education (JCE) Web-Ready collection includes many useful instructional software programs that have been converted for use in a standard web-browser environment. Access to items in this collection is restricted to JCE Web Software subscribers.
LaserFest is a yearlong celebration of the 50th anniversary of the laser, which was first demonstrated in 1960, and is a collaboration between the American Physical Society, the Optical Society, SPIE and IEEE Photonics Society. From DVD players to eye surgery, the laser is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century--one that has revolutionized the way we live.
MatDL Pathway assumes stewardship of significant content and services to support the integration of research and education in the materials community with a targeted audience of undergraduate and graduate students, educators, and researchers. MatDL is a consortium of organizations currently including: Kent State University, MIT, National Institute of Standards and Technology, University of Michigan, Purdue University, and Iowa State University, plus joint efforts with professional societies.
MathWorld is the web's most extensive mathematical resource, provided as a free service to the world's mathematics and internet communities as part of a commitment to education and educational outreach by Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica. MathWorld has been assembled over more than a decade by Eric W. Weisstein with assistance from thousands of contributors.
MERLOT is a leading edge, user-centered, searchable collection of peer reviewed and selected higher education, online learning materials, catalogued by registered members and a set of faculty development support services. MERLOT's vision is to be a premiere online community where faculty, staff, and students from around the world share their learning materials and pedagogy.
Provided by the American Association of Physics Teachers, the Physical Sciences Resource Center is a web-based databank that provides K-20 teachers links to a wide range of teaching and learning resources in the physical sciences.

Web Gateways
Organized by Dewey Decimal Number, BUBL is a catalogue of selected Internet resources covering all academic subject areas. Provided by University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.
The Sheffield Chemdex: the directory of chemistry on the WWW since 1993. Contains several thousand chemistry web sites.
INFOMINE is a virtual library of Internet resources relevant to faculty, students, and research staff at the university level. It contains useful Internet resources such as databases, electronic journals, electronic books, bulletin boards, mailing lists, online library card catalogs, articles, directories of researchers, and many other types of information.
Intute is a free online service that contains a searchable and browsable database of annotated links to the very best web resources for higher education and research. While funding was cut at the end of December 2009 for this service, the existing set of links is still worth consulting.
Links for Chemists, the Chemistry section of The WWW Virtual Library. Links for Chemists is an index of more than 8,000 chemistry resources on the web. This site is the copyright of The University of Liverpool, Department of Chemistry.
Covers broad array of subject areas. Also includes companion site called On-line calculators that has over 27,000 calculators listed.
The WWW Virtual Library (VL) is the oldest catalogue of the Web, started by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of HTML and of the Web itself, in 1991 at CERN in Geneva. Unlike commercial catalogues, it is run by a loose confederation of volunteers, who compile pages of key links for particular areas in which they are expert; even though it isn't the biggest index of the Web, the VL pages are widely recognized as being amongst the highest-quality guides to particular sections of the Web.
