modules developed to support different levels of researcher and student atUMD. The presentation was well received and, some faculty in the CEE department wish toexplore ways to further integrate equitable citation practice into their graduate curriculum.Assignment ProposalAfter the presentation on citational justice, faculty in the CEE department became interested inintegrating critical citation practice into their graduate student’s research requirements. One ofthe faculty members developed a short reflective assignment for the graduate students theyadvise to complete. Included in this assignment was identifying who is most cited in the field,analyzing their identities, and reflecting on identities that were underrepresented or missing.After

The rubric scoring criteria were revised to reflect this emphasis, andall scores for that outcome were updated to reflect the updated rubric (see Appendix A).The final ratings were then combined into a total rubric score. Course scores for each report, as apercentage of the total possible score, and the percentage of graduate students on each team werecomputed as well in order to compare the final data from the two semesters in the sample. Two-sample t-tests assuming unequal variances were used to look for statistical differences betweenoutcomes for the Summer 2021 and Summer 2022 data. As no significant differences wereidentified, average scores for each rubric outcome were

Itbecame clear through campus interactions, tech and industry conferences, and demand for suchanalysis that stakeholders across campus are hungry for data-driven expertise.Virginia Tech is an R1 (Carnegie Classification-Very High Research Activity), land grantinstitution with a large engineering program and has maintained a dedicated engineering subjectlibrarian position for more than two decades. When the previous engineering librarian retired twoyears ago, administrators decided to reimagine the position to incorporate engineering researchintelligence work into the liaison role and rename the title to reflect the engineering analyst role.This new liaison role allows the
