Project Profile |
| In East Texas, the TIDES Bring Digital Resources to Students |
|
To expand its online collection to subject areas beyond local history, the
Steen Library at Stephen F. Austin State University in East Texas worked with
local teachers – and some in Mexico – to add Hispanic culture and world history
resources. The Library also put in science content and redesigned its TIDES
(Teaching, Images and Digital Experiences) Web site to feature portals for each
type of user: teachers; elementary, middle, and high school students; and university
students and faculty.

Message |

Dear Friends,
It has been an honor to serve as the Director of the Institute of Museum and
Library Services and, as my term draws to a close, I want to thank you all for
your commitment to culture and learning. I will be entering the private
sector where I hope to continue my work in these areas. I will miss the
Agency but know it will be in excellent hands and will remain strong.
With all best wishes,
Anne
- Anne-Imelda M. Radice, Ph.D.,
