About LifeDiscoveryEd Digital Library (LDDL)
The LifeDiscoveryEd Digital Library is a collaborative project of the Ecological Society of America, Botanical Society of America, Society for Economic Botany, and Society for the Study of Evolution. The project was made possible with a major grant from the National Science Foundation and launched in March 2013. LDDL runs on the CWIS platform, developed by the Internet Scout team from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Key features of the platform include the ability for users to submit, save, comment, and rate resources. Users will also be able to save resources in a folder which can be made public if desired. Users may browse by any keyword, audience, resource type, discipline or collection.
Users may reuse, remix or repurpose content under the Copyright and Terms of Use provisions.
