In 2017 the Engineering Libraries Division (ELD) will celebrate its 50^th anniversary as a division and the 75^th anniversary of the first organized engineering librarians group in the American Society for Engineering Education. In celebration of the ELD’s double anniversary year, the Anniversary Planning Task Force* is publishing a monthly e-mail digest called, "Milestones in Engineering Information" to highlight important topics in the history of engineering libraries and information.
