What They Started 2013

“Making Sense of Next Big Things in Science” Zabel, Diane, and Stankus, Tony Reference & User Services Quarterly – Winter 2002, Vol. 42 Issue 2, p110. 9p. Offers a model for collection development in emerging new areas of science and technology that offer huge economic market potential, a.k.a., the Next Big Thing (NTB): in this case, the area of proteomics, or protein science. Aims to assist librarians in developing a strategy for collection building without having the advantage of the explicit advice of exhaustive studies with heavy-duty bibliometrics that have yet to materialize. Focuses on how to make enough sense of what scientists involved in proteomics are saying to one another in journals so that a librarian can begin to assemble a working collection, to be later followed by confirmation, modification or extension in light of what truly expert librarians have to say in neighboring fields. Explains how to correctly get the first few things bought for proteomics until sufficient experience with the newly recruited faculty allows for locally guided collection growth.

“Proteomics” Marc Wilkins coined the term proteome in 1994 in a symposium in Siena in Italy. Marc Wilkins It appeared in print in 1995 with the publication in Wilkins's PhD thesis. Wilkins used the term to describe the entire complement of proteins expressed by a genome, cell, tissue, or organism. First conference paper 1994 First Use 1994 First Dissertation 1994 First article 1994 First Book 1995 First Review 1996 (153 Refs) First Journal Title 2001 (Proteomics)
