The ChemCollective Digital Library

4. Future plans

The ChemCollective remains an active collection, with continuing development of all portions of the collection. We are also working on integrating the collection with the ChemEd DL such that all materials can be discovered and accessed through that more general portal.

5. Acknowledgements

We gratefully acknowledge support for this work from the National Science Foundation (DUE-0443041 and DUE-0333720), the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
