Center for Applied Special Technology),Universal Design for Learning (UDL,) which is described on the CAST website as “a frameworkto improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights intohow humans learn,” is heavily addressed in the scholarly literature. See the CAST website athttps://udlguidelines.cast.org/ for the basic outline of this method of accessible instruction. Asearch of UDL will result in many books, articles [54], and videos about using UDL principles aswell as challenges and critiques of the method.5See S.

preferences and behaviors of students. Prior to the 1990’s, academic libraries weredesigned to maximize space for physical collections, a trend that changed with the introductionof digital collections. As more materials became available on-line, librarians began rethinkingthe use of their physical spaces to focus more on optimizing student learning experiences. As aresult, the shift in design occurred from individual study, book-centered library spaces to agroup-study learning environment [1].Generation Z (Gen Z) college students, those born from the late 1990’s to the early 2000’s,expect to have choices. When it comes to space, they want to have control of their choices [2].Controlling choices in the moment of need by the student is the definition
Education, 2023The Teaching Needs of Engineering Faculty Compared to Business Faculty: How the Library and Librarian Fit InAbstractSubject or liaison librarians are frequently asked to provide information literacy instruction intheir assigned departments. However, not much in the literature explores how else librarians cansupport faculty teaching needs beyond information literacy. This paper compares the results oftwo separate studies conducted by the author that examined the teaching needs of faculty frombusiness and engineering. Business faculty were interviewed as part of a multi-site study in 2018led by Ithaka S+R, while the engineering faculty study was done separately by the author in2020. Interview transcripts from both

In this landscape, creativity, design, and engineering are making their way to the forefront of educational considerations, as tools such as 3D printers, robotics, and 3D modeling web-based applications become accessible to more people. Proponents of makerspaces for education highlight the benefit of engaging learners in creative, higher-order problem solving through hands-on design, construction, and iteration.

“researchevaluation” was discussed as the topic continues to develop rapidly. However, the authors didnot articulate any opportunities around research intelligence as a data-driven service; rather, thefocus rested on opportunities around advising and educating others to view research metricsmore comprehensively rather than on a narrow set of metrics. No mention was made of activelyparticipating in a service to aid in strategic decision making, nor building teams around suchservices [2]. On the other hand, a more recent report from the often-consulted Ithaka S+R teamstate in “It’s Not What Libraries Hold; It’s Who Libraries Serve,” that academic libraries must“center on the user” and “must be completely re-architected to provide modern businessintelligence
Experiences in World War IIGiven that World War II ended only a few years before the Directory was compiled, it is notsurprising that many engineering library staff were veterans or had worked in positions thatsupported the war effort. Although men were more likely to serve in the armed forces, womenalso served in various roles.U.S. Army veterans included Harry C. Bauer, Director of Libraries at the University ofWashington from 1947-59. Bauer served from 1942-45 as a combat intelligence officer in theU.S. Army Air Forces and was awarded a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and Air Medal.

student resourceutilization could consider materials beyond textbooks (e.g., open educational resources) by usingdifferent methods, such as student and instructor-facing surveys.Our methods study the presence of certain keywords, but this does not quantify the importance orfocus of terms to a particular textbook. For instance, Moran et al. 14 mention “cost,” but this is inthe context of “cost rate balance for turbine(s)”—hardly a major consideration of this textbook.Future work could further develop the methods used here to provide a finer resolution of topicfocus across textbooks.Reserve lists across institutions are potentially useful beyond the focus of the present study. Asnoted above, a reserve list reflects faculty decisions; thus, a

to their foreign national student colleagues) are even more likely to lack technicalstandards education. In contrast to the U.S.’s approach, many countries introduce their studentsto technical standards in grade schools and continue that education through high school [17].As of this time, ABET only accredits bachelor (four-year degree) and master (post-graduate)programs. Therefore, many graduate programs including doctoral programs do not hold graduatestudents to the technical standards educational exposure and requirements that they do theirundergraduate students. Educators who support graduate students (e.g., faculty, staff, engineeringlibrarians) have the added challenges of supporting both undergraduate and graduate students.Two examples
