their data management lifecycle as a dynamic process and as one element,albeit a key element, in their scholarly workflow. Researchers, for the most part, have thefundamentals of this workflow in mind, but do not necessarily have it explicitly outlined. This isparticularly critical as scientific researchers often rely on graduate students and/or post-docs forday-to-day management of laboratory studies and data recordkeeping. In developing a datamanagement instructional program, libraries take on the responsibilities of orienting graduatestudents and other personnel on basic data management skills.INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMIt is clear that changing e-research technologies and methodologies have led to rapid changes inscholarly communication models

Laboratory. The othermembers of the panel were scientists and engineers from various government agencies,universities and corporations.The report’s numerous recommendations addressed every aspect of technical information fromthe writing of abstracts to the development of information handling systems; use of citationindexes, the reduction of unnecessary and duplicative publications, and the creation of a nationalnetwork of technical information centers. One of its major recommendations was to improvestudent education in information retrieval and the use of literature. Noting that some disciplines,notably chemistry, did require students to take courses on using the literature, engineers “receivevirtually no training in literature techniques, and they

theMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Radiation Laboratory, and many other researchinstitutions. In the mid-1940s, the library was also designated as a depository for the Army MapServices. In 1950, the Georgia Tech Library was made a Depository for the Atomic EnergyCommission (AEC), together with fifty or so other research libraries. Reports from AEC weremade available to engineers, scientists, industrialist and others to help foster scientific researchand industrial development in Georgia and the southeast region. Under Crosland’s direction, theLibrary also added reports from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), theOffice of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD), which was superseded by the NationalDefense Research
