Description: Goal: The BPC digital library is being developed by the PAIRS (Practices, Aggregation, Infrastructure, and Retrieval Service for Broadening Participation in Computing) NSF grant, to enable educators at all levels, in both formal and informal settings, to easily identify, select, and use educational resources that have been shown by research to be effective for increasing the participation of members of under-represented groups in information technology. The digital library is being developed from the contributions of practices from the Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) program in CISE and elsewhere that have been researched or evaluated for their promise or effectiveness to recruit, retain, or advance under-represented groups in IT fields of study or research careers. The digital library, will also serve as a centralized vehicle for dissemination of practices by a wide range of researchers and practitioners. The Engineering Pathway website will provide the necessary digital library services to make PAIRS an effective tool for users and resource providers, including metadata harvesting, federated search, interoperability, scalability, usability, and personalization. The BPC Digital Library is a collection of the Engineering Pathway digital library system.
