Over a period of six months in 1967, a one-day course to train scientists and engineers in the effective use of the available information tools, resources, and techniques was developed and tested. Testing and evaluation was done by project personnel and by three groups of federally-employed scientists and engineers to whom the course was given. The lecture topics were: Information About Information, Information on Ongoing Research and Development, Current Research and Development Results, Past Research and Development Results, Major American Library and Resource Collections, Organization of Personal Index Files, and Relationship of the Scientist and Engineer to His Information Tools and Mechanisms. In addition to the course syllabus, the project produced a portfolio of demonstration materials and a text entitled “A Guide to Information Tools, Methods, and Resources in Science and Technology.” The latter is essentially a recapitulation of the course lectures. © 1969, American Chemical Society.
