The work in developing and delivering the DIL program will be carried out over a two year period by five project teams: two at Purdue and one at each of the other institutions.&nbsp; These teams are composed of a data librarian, a subject librarian, and a faculty researcher from a science or engineering discipline.&nbsp; This direct collaboration with researchers ensures that the resulting DIL program will be directly relevant to their students. &nbsp;Each of the five teams will begin by conducting literature reviews and environmental scans to identify existing disciplinary resources and perspectives.&nbsp; Participating librarians will then conduct interviews using the {html}<a href="http://www.datacurationprofiles.org" target="_blank">Data Curation Profile tool</a>{html} and observe the data handling and management practices in the researcher’s lab to understand real world activities as they relate to best practices. Each team will develop a DIL program that includes defined learning goals, educational interventions and metrics for assessment.&nbsp; The interventions will be delivered in either laboratory or classroom sessions.&nbsp; Student achievements as well as student and faculty attitudes will be assessed to determine the relevancy and effectiveness of the instruction.&nbsp; Project teams will then conduct a collective analysis of the educational interventions to identify patterns and commonalities across their respective experiences in developing DIL programs, as well as account for the significant differences.&nbsp; The outcomes will be used to draft a model for other academic librarians to develop data information literacy programs of their own.&nbsp; The draft model will be presented at a symposium held at Purdue for review and feedback which will be incorporated into the final version.&nbsp;
