| Abstract | The Center for Environmental Education Research (CEER) of the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) conducts ongoing research to better understand the structure and curricula of interdisciplinary environmental and sustainability (IES) education and research programs in the USA. NCSE is a not-for-profit organization that specializes in programs that foster collaboration between the diverse institutions and individuals creating and using environmental knowledge, including research, education, environmental, and business organizations as well as governmental bodies at all levels. It hosts an annual conference and global forum on science, policy, and the environment and serves as the secretariat for four US professional organizations for environmental and sustainability academics: the Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS), the Council of Environmental Deans and Directors (CEDD), the Council of Energy Research and Education Leaders (CEREL), and the Community College Affiliate Program (CCAP). NCSE initiated its extensive research program in 2003 with a study designed to understand the nature and number of IES program academic leaders’ perspectives on ideal curriculum design for baccalaureate and graduate degree programs. This study revealed a consensus on the identity of the IES field, or what distinguishes it from other disciplines and professional fields (Vincent and Focht 2009; Vincent and Focht 2010). It also discovered three distinct, but not opposing, perspectives on the goals of IES education (Vincent 2010; Vincent and Focht 2011). Subsequent CEER research studies have consistently discovered that program leaders have three distinct views on various aspects of IES program administration with overlapping areas of consensus. These dimensions include the educational goal of IES programs (and the desirability of defined core competencies), ideal curriculum design for undergraduate programs, and the factors important for program success. Although imperfect and not predictive, statistical correlations reveal relationships between the three sets of findings. This paper will provide a review of the findings of these studies, examine the relationships between the views, and discuss the implications for the ongoing evolution of IES education and research in higher education institutions in the USA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
