| Description: | The Alsos Digital Library for Nuclear Issues is a web-based collection of annotated references to resources that offer a broad, balanced perspective on current and historical nuclear issues. The references trace the development of nuclear science, the Manhattan Project, which produced the first atomic bombs, the Cold War arms race, and the post-Cold War world of proliferation and terrorism. The materials referenced include books, articles, videos, and websites. Each annotation is vetted to assure accuracy and indexed to facilitate access. The goal of the library is to provide references for the study of the Manhattan Project and its consequences to a broad audience. The library strengthens the quality of education by connecting different disciplines, issues, and ideas involving nuclear issues as well as providing resources for specific disciplines. It integrates the indexed references into a structured collection that allows users to examine nuclear issues from many perspectives. The indexing system and searching tools facilitate the exploration of these materials for general readers, educators, and specialists alike. A clear, intuitive user interface facilitates navigation of the library. Users can assemble a personal bibliography for output to a file or printer. |
