- Educating the New Generation of E-Scientists through Developing a Data Information Literacy Curriculum
A two-year project led by Purdue University, in partnership with The Library is in partnership with Purdue University (lead), the University of Oregon, the University of Minnesota , and Cornell University, Stanford University in a two-year project to develop a model for designing and implementing a data information literacy (DIL) instruction program. Five project teams composed of a data librarian, a subject librarian, and a faculty researcher from a science or engineering discipline will work are working to develop a DIL program with defined learning goals, educational interventions and metrics for assessment. The direct collaboration with researchers will will ensure that the resulting instruction will be relevant to their students. Outcomes from the project teams' experiences will be used to draft a model for other academic librarians to develop data information literacy programs of their own.

Cornell University Library (CUL) is partnering with the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University (SU) to support their eScience Fellows Program by developing a mentorship program for enrolled students. The partnership provides students with opportunities to be exposed to world-class science libraries, as well as innovative eScience projects. The eScience Librarianship program, a specialized curriculum within SU's MS in Library and Information Science program, is designed to prepare students for professional roles supporting scientific practice and communication in eScience environments. Curriculum components include scientific data management, data and collaboration technologies, data services, workflows, and metadata for scientific data sets. The overarching goals of the mentorship program are to provide students with the opportunity to:
• gain exposure to the practice of science and eScience librarianship, and
• develop career skills and professional contacts. - National Cooperative Collections for South Asian Libraries
