Workshops can sometimes be supported through the RFP proposal process. If more workshops were initiated, what topics would be of most interest to the NSDL community? Should a regular series of workshops be instituted to supplement the Annual Meeting?

Is there any down side to the breadth of focus supported by the NSDL? For example, should the NSDL focus on a narrower audience or range of grade levels.
