Last week in Seattle The Physics-Astronomy-Mathematics (PAM) division of Special Libraries Association (SLA) Conference featured a presentation from NSDL’s Physics and Astromony Pathway (comPADRE) PI Bruce Mason who teamed up with NSDL’s science librarian blogger Pat Viele. Mason and Viele co-presented a poster about comPADRE, and also later at the Physics Round Table discussion where they enlisted science librarians to help spread the word about comPADRE–and all of NSDL–by attending regional meetings such as the American Physical Society and the American Association of Physics Teachers to let them know that NSDL services and resources are not only available, but useful in Physics instruction.

Viele also reported on the American Physical Society Conference held in College Park, Maryland in January 2008 “Graduate Education in Physics: Which Way Forward.”
