“the majortransdisciplinary index in the world’s engineering literature.” There are no doubts that thispublication has been used for the last 125 years by engineers and technical staff all over theworld, people that in one way or another have contributed to the development of today’s modernsociety. Therefore, Ei is an intrinsic part of the history of technology. The history of TheEngineering Index has been presented by several authors at different times. The most prominenthave been the works of Hannum2, Bissell3, Landau4, and Woods5 which combined cover detailsfrom 1884 to 1984. More recently, Youngman6 wrote about how the role of librarians haschanged as reflected by the changes in the The Engineering Index as occurred, and Lafferty

investigate developing informationliteracy skills in first-year engineering technology students. It was found that ongoingcollaboration with faculty and increased student contact improved the effectiveness of librarian-led information literacy instruction. Allegorically, the authors have also found that their ownstudents, even when presented with the proper resources to search for and retrieve peer-reviewedarticles, handbooks and conference proceedings will frequently resort to web references.Examples of this may be found in three works authored with undergraduates. Admittedly, as ofthis writing, the co-author’s own work has fallen victim to the vagaries of online publishing, (e.g.Gadia et al., 2005a, Gadia et al., 2005b, Layton et al., 2007)4-6

attention needs to be paid to this function in order to keep the libraries’ missionrelevant to an increasingly competitive academic environment. The experience of University ofMaryland librarians is described, and typical classes given from 2001-2009 for K-12 students arediscussed. Out of 9224 total instruction sessions, 151 were for K-12 students. Thirty one of thosewere devoted strictly to Engineering and science; the others were general library orientations thatoften included some science and technology resources.IntroductionWhat do the nicknames His Airness, Tinchie, Kitchen, Skeets, and Babsie all have in common?These five individuals were recruited by at least one of the twelve Atlantic Coast Conference(ACC) schools.
