In human cognition, mental models are important schemas of the world that people use toreason, solve problems, and make inferences across situations [1]. When students apply theirmental models of Google-like search expectations to single search bars on library websites orscientific databases, they are often met with confusing, unexpected, or incorrect results. Thepurpose of this exploratory study is to evaluate undergraduate College of Engineering andCollege of Sciences and Arts students’ real-world search strategies during a library instructionsession at Michigan Technological University (MTU).

We obtained these lists from five institutions: Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), State University of New York Polytechnic(SUNY Poly), California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo (CalPoly SLO), andCarnegie Mellon University (CMU). These institutions were selected to ensure a mix of publicand private institutions, and for the availability of their reserve lists—either by request orthrough publicly available information. Reserve list policies vary by institution; some institutionslist permanent reserves, while other institutions

highereducation settings, particularly for disabled students, who are often forgotten or less emphasizedin DEI efforts. In some disciplinary areas, such as in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) fields, disabled students are more likely to experience discrimination due to a reportedlymore competitive and less flexible and supportive environment. Academic librarians and othereducators can make a difference for these students by contributing to a more inclusive campusenvironment for disabled people in STEM by implementing universally accessible and inclusivepedagogy, resources, services, and spaces. Such efforts are more effective when they incorporatea disability justice perspective, which provides an intersectional framework to understand

seminarsinfluenced a student’s study skills or their use of library technology. The answer was not verymuch – in fact, they found that 22% of first year engineering students had never used the library[7]. Engineering graduate students' needs tend to be quite different from their undergraduatecounterparts. Many graduate programs assume students enter the program with foundationalinformation literacy knowledge obtained during their undergraduate programs. However, this isat odds with our understanding of theory-heavy undergraduate programs. Previous research ongraduate student populations indicates that confidence in their information literacy skills is high,but this confidence may not translate into practical skills [8].

Engineering launched anexploratory survey to determine the amount declared engineering majors spent on textbooksacross their classes. At Dartmouth College, major declarations occur at the conclusion ofsophomore year, therefore junior and senior engineering majors were the target audience for thesurvey. Because Dartmouth is a liberal arts college, engineering students must take courses in art,literature, thought, international study, social analysis, quantitative or deductive sciences, naturaland physical sciences, and technology and applied sciences [4]. While engineering classes fulfillthe science and technology portions, engineering majors take many classes outside of thedepartment. It is important to note this fact because the costs of textbooks

Unfortunately, this did notexist (and still does not as of early April 2023), so more options were needed. Next, Scopus andWeb of Science were searched for “blue origin” in their default search options (title, abstractkeywords for Scopus and all fields in Web of Science). In October 2022 this yielded 112 resultsin Scopus and 89 in Web of Science, which were lower than expected
