The Curriculum Customization Service (CCS) is a Web-based system built using NSDL’s EduPak tools. CCS delivers digitized, publisher-provided curricular materials - student textbook chapters, assessments, instructional support materials - along with interactive digital library resources and instructor-developed resources in the context of learning goals. Materials are cataloged and managed using the NSDL Collection System, and instructor-contributed content is saved to and retrieved from the Digital Discovery System (DDS). Web service APIs are used to generate rich user interfaces in the CCS. In addition, DDS services are being used to integrate digital resources from DLESE, linked to district learning goals.

TinEye is a reverse image search engine. What that means is that instead of searching for images by keyword like you would on Yahoo Images you search for images by uploading an image or linking to an image. For example, if I have a picture of my dog and want to find more pictures of dogs like him, I simply upload a picture of my dog to TinEye and TinEye will search for images like mine.
