recording of protocols and progress has been done via paper labnotebooks. With the popularity of the internet, many have been turning to electronicmeans to record their study data, though this does not imply that paper lab notebookshave been completely abandoned. In the beginning, many were making use of tools notnecessarily created for the sole use in laboratories, such as Microsoft Word, Evernote,Google Docs, or other means of recording notes online and/or via a computer.However, there proved to be a market for products used especially by those doingresearch on scientific fields and thus the electronic lab notebook was born.

Manyfaculty think of the published thesis or journal article as the public sharing of data. However,internally, data is shared through local tools like emails and shared laboratory disc drives. Datathat is not sensitive is shared through document sharing platforms like Microsoft OneDrive,Dropbox, and Google Drive. Services like QNAP's Network Attached Storage (NAS) are alsoused for backup, storage, and transferring large data. Although sharing data internally wasgenerally not considered a challenge by most respondents, getting large amounts of simulationdata from one place to another was a problem.

General sources of information, such as encyclopedias, trade magazines, orhandbooks, can give an overview of the major technologies being used to solve the problem.Codes and regulations will provide guidance on legal constraints. When teaching theinformational component of this phase, focusing on the Initiation stage of the Information SearchProcess is the most important. This is the phase when the student will need to determine whatinformation they know and what information they still need to find. Often with novices, ‘theydon’t know what they don’t know,’ so they have difficulty articulating the need for information.Providing students with some structure for asking questions can facilitate them

Pinelli explains thesedifferences in the work of engineers vs. scientists in great detail,3 but for our purposes whatmatters is how this plays out in terms of library use. As users, engineers behave differently thantheir peers in other disciplines. Many of them simply don’t use the library, physically orvirtually, and are unaware of library resources and services. Neither group is known to askreference questions in the traditional sense or request mediated searching. Tenopir states, “Evenwhen they do use a library, engineers like to search for information themselves rather than gothrough a librarian or other intermediary.”4
