Abstract
The global cybersecurity crisis has forced academic institutions to expand cybersecurity education, and accessible, quality cybersecurity curriculum is needed. The CLARK cybersecurity curriculum resource library is a large-scale Design Science Research project intended to address critical demands in cybersecurity. This paper focuses on the need for a living digital library, surveys current cybersecurity repositories, and discusses factors that determine the success of a digital library. We also discuss CLARK, a multifaceted solution that includes various lenses for building and sustaining a living library of cybersecurity curriculum.
