 This Cookbook is learning-oriented to support scientific researchers who use NASA Earthdata as NASA migrates data and workflows to the cloud. It has resources to learn how to work with NASA Earthdata in the cloud, as well as documentation for how to contribute to these resources. It is under active, open development.
 
+**Tip: use the _earthaccess_ Python library to access NASA Earthdata**. [earthaccess](https://earthaccess.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) is a Python library that streamlines access to NASA Earthdata locally or in the cloud. To learn more, see this [tech spotlight](https://nasa-openscapes.github.io/news/2024-03-04-earthaccess-tech-spotlight/), the [NASA Earthdata blog post](https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/blog/earthaccess), and these [how-to's](how-tos/find-data/find-python.html) and [tutorials](tutorials/).

 ## The Cloud Paradigm
 
 NASA Earthdata is available from Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) [Distributed Active Archive Centers](https://earthdata.nasa.gov/eosdis/daacs) (DAACs) that are in the process of moving data holdings to a cloud platform. In the new paradigm, data storage (orange in the illustration) will migrate to the cloud (green) and DAAC-provided tools and services built on top of the data are co-located in the Earthdata Cloud.
