Abstract
Since 1991 we have been developing a digital library (DL) in computer science and applying if for CS education. NSF has founded two large projects focusing in this area, as well as several related efforts. "A User-Centered Database for the Computer Science Literature" ran from 1991 through early 1995, benefited from strong support from ACM, and led to the Envision system [8, 9, 10]. "Interactive Learning With a Digital Library in Computer Science" [6, 7] runs from 1993 through early 1997, is supported by ACM as well as other publishers like IEEE-CS, includes efforts at Norfolk State University (NSU), and benefits from extensive hypermedia system support. By late April 1995, thirteen courses were supported by this El (NSF Education Infrastructure) project and over forty thousand accesses a week were logged by our server.
