"McKenzie Smith's (MIT) paper is especially useful in outlining what appropriate roles research
libraries may (and probably will not) play."

David Pogue's Thursday "Circuits"
IATAC authors several reports on current IA topics. We produce three types of reports:
Critical Reviews and Technology Assessments (CR/TA) are reports normally directed toward evaluating and synthesizing the latest available information resulting from recent R&D findings, or they may be comparative in assessments of technologies and/or methodologies based on specific technical characteristics.State-of-the-Art Reports (SOAR) investigate the groundbreaking developments in contemporary IA issues.
Tools Reports outline a current technology and provide a listing of currently available products. Tools Reports are available for Firewalls, Vulnerability Analysis and Intrusion Detection.These reports are available for download, however most are limited distribution. Where applicable, downloads are only available to users coming from .mil/.gov domains. If you have trouble downloading documents, please email us.

This paper will discuss the need to integrate information competencies into engineering
programs at the curriculum level. To support this argument, the various opportunities for library
instruction available in academic libraries (and the relative effectiveness of each) will be
reviewed. It will be argued that the most effective of these is curriculum-integrated instruction,
which is competency based and strategic in nature. However, the quantity of work and
coordination required to build an instruction program that is truly curriculum-integrated
oftentimes leads to a product that is course-integrated rather than curriculum-integrated. An
informal survey was conducted of NC State University students in the Colleges of Textiles and
Engineering and illustrates where course-integrated instruction falls short of its goal. This paper
concludes with an outline of a plan for implementing a curriculum-integrated instruction
program.
engineering students must develop lifelong learning skills in order for a program to be
accredited. We argue that developing information literacy skills will allow students to exert
more control over their own learning within and beyond the classroom so they will develop
these skills.
Resource Sharing & Information Networks:
Innovations in Library Consortia, Systems, and Networks for Interlibrary Cooperation
Volume: 17 Issue: 1/2
Abstract:
Students coping with the escalating complexities of available electronic resources often demonstrate undesirable behaviors including the inability to identify information needs, uncertainty about selecting information resources, poor evaluation of information sources, and inappropriate use of information for problem solving. To eliminate these obstacles in higher education, librarians and faculty at Purdue University collaborated to integrate the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) core competencies for information literacy directly into course content. This manuscript describes the development of an overt informationcentered curriculum and its impact on student learning
Science & Technology Libraries
Volume: 19 Issue: 3/4, p. 179 - 188.
Abstract:
Commercial engineering databases as well as digital documents, e.g., journals, patents, standards, etc., are experiencing a period of rapid growth. The last thing an engineer can afford to do is spend time sifting through piles of information without useful results to show for the effort. In the corporate world, new engineers are often called upon to perform a variety of research related tasks, e.g., report to their group on newly emerging technologies, or help in patent prior art research. Engineers with solid library research skills will generally produce more thorough reports than those without. The ideal time for the engineer to develop his or her information gathering and management skils is not when entering the corporate world, rather, it is during the engineering education where engineering library resources in staff and collections are virtually always superior to that of the corporate world where library service may be limited or non-existent.
