Research data management is an ever-present and growing concern for academic chemistry laboratories, libraries, scholarly societies and publishers. Coordinating data management requirements with electronic notebook platform development is an excellent opportunity to consider the process of articulation and resolution among disparate perspectives in depth. When the project group is separated by over three thousand miles and includes an academic team developing an open source ELN, a cheminformatics team developing spectral handling capability and an organic chemist with over a dozen students who will ultimately utilize the platform, onsite management and coordination of the needs, training and information flow is critical. This presentation will report observations from a case study involving developers, user scientists and the role of an onsite librarian in coordinating and managing stakeholder objectives.
