service at their university. Instruction style can vary as well with seminars, workshopsand stand-alone courses being used to teach RDM skills. Who teaches RDM can vary just asmuch as the audience: librarians teaching alone or in teams, librarian and faculty combinations,librarian and IT professionals, and any combination of the above including guest speakers. Often,there is preparatory work that may include interviews, laboratory reviews, surveys or other toolsthat aid in getting informative information to facilitate the work toward RDM instruction. Inorder to illustrate the benefits of the team approach to RDM instruction and the trend towardcredit classes, Table 1 compares the course type, date, instructor method, preparatory work andthe

.Manufacturers have embraced lean manufacturing during the slow down in the economyas one method of remaining profitable5. Having students experience lean manufacturing concepts in the laboratory canhave a positive effect on the experiences offered to the students prior to them entering theindustrial setting. It is important that faculty provide students with the experiences thatdevelop a strong conceptual framework of how this management practice will benefit theindustry in which they work. Many of our students learn best when they are actively engaged in activities thatemphasize the concepts that we are trying to teach. This paper will focus on a NationalInstitute of Standards (NIST) developed Lean Manufacturing Workshop and a project
