The poster presents a case study highlighting (1) the role of librarians and libraries in DataONE, (2) the structure of the DataONE virtual organization, and (3) the kinds of services that libraries will provide as they develop their capacity to curate digital data. Librarians are involved at all stages of the project – proposal development, needs analysis, data collection, standards development, outreach and instruction, end-user support, LIS research, data curation, and preservation. DataONE uses inclusive organizational structures and processes to integrate digital, academic, and science librarians with research networks, governmental organizations, international organizations, data and metadata archives, professional societies, NGOs, the commercial sector, and synthesis and supercomputer centers/networks to form an economically and technologically sustainable virtual organization. The librarians involved in this project plan to build distributed services to provide user instruction, global virtual reference services, and support the dissemination of best practices for collecting "born archival" scientific data. Participating libraries will evolve to support the discovery and long-term (decades to centuries) preservation of diverse multi-scale, multi-discipline, and multi-national science data collected by biological (genome to ecosystem) and environmental (atmospheric, ecological, hydrological, and oceanographic) scientists, national and international research networks, and environmental observatories.

Setting/Participants/Resources: The University of Illinois at Chicago, Library of the Health Sciences – Rockford Brief Description: Library instruction is one of the most important services provided by librarians. Traditional hands-on sessions in a computer laboratory is still an effective and common method of teaching. Training sessions on a different online database were offered on the fourth Wednesday of the month. The objective was to instill a habit for learning to the library users by offering classes on the same day every month. A schedule of classes was developed and implemented. The sessions were advertised by displaying flyers and distributing emails throughout the month highlighting the database-of-the-month. Results/Outcome: Offering library instruction classes on a regularly scheduled day each month provided the opportunity to develop a habit of coming into the library to learn a new database every month. Evaluation Method: Attendance was tabulated to determine the success of the sessions.
