TNS provides:

• Services for discovery and delivery of the library's collections through nsdl.org and other portals
• Tools to create and manage collections of digital objects
• Web-based applications that help teachers and learners to optimize their experiences with digital content
• Services to support collaborative conversations among scientists, teachers, and students
• Support, training and consultation for the adoption and use of TNS supported tools

TNS partners with NSDL Pathways and projects as well as school districts, museums, educational non-profits and other digital learning enterprises. TNS is a distributed collaborative organization, which includes Cornell University (PI Carl Lagoze), University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (Co-PI Michael Wright) and the University of Colorado at Boulder (Co-PI Tamara Sumner).
