also likely audiences.Graduate students, particularly in the STEM disciplines, must learn data management skills.They will never know their discipline without electronic data capture. However, graduate studenteducation in data curation skills is patchy and frequently reliant on the advisor professor to teachthose skills. For professors who are learning the skills themselves, it is difficult to teach allnecessary skills across the data lifecycle. Additionally, not all graduate students work directlywith an individual advisor in a laboratory. Fellowship students, who are expected to create theirown research plan, may be missed by lab-based data management training. Add in the fact that

laboratories – BuildingResearch (BRE), Road Research (now TRL) , Water Pollution Research (Now WRc). Thelatter bodies had considerably more resources than ICE. A little later the Ministry of PublicBuildings and Works, later the Property Services Agency (PSA), introduced ConstructionReferences. All of the above services developed online versions – INSPEC, BRIX, IRRD,Aqualine. BRE and PSA later briefly contributed to ICONDA. ICE briefly entered the frayagain with ICE Abstracts in the 1970s. The competition remained stiff and poor financialreturns led to its sale. It survives as International civil engineering abstracts published byEmerald.The Library also came under internal pressure within ICE. As other functions expanded itsspace was challenged. The
