In each of the three cases, the initial ask was not for information literacy (IL)instruction – or even for librarian support – but by identifying a point-of-need and havingconversations with campus colleagues, librarians have made themselves a fundamental part ofinteresting partnerships. These experiences demonstrated how librarians are ideal collaborators,and partnerships are

Who belongs in engineering? Where do libraries fitinto this conversation? Many scholars have explored the concept of outreach, inclusion,accessibility, and belonging in STEM fields. This project examines a collection of these works,using a library of literature as a corpus

. When initially discussing what questions should be included in the pre-survey, wecame to the conclusion that we wanted to assess how critical a participant was of informationsources. But we also recognized that asking a direct question on this topic could influence theirbehavior during the observational session. As a workaround to this issue, we decided to ask thestudent about their previous engagement with research projects and their previous exposure tolibrary instruction. We feel that these questions will help us parse out students that have moreformal experience with information literacy and source evaluation in the final dataset. Thepost-survey questions are designed to provide both quantitative and qualitative data to betterunderstand

academia. On-the-jobinformation needs move at a more rapid pace and employers provide less specific guidance thanacademic instructors, making it difficult for new university graduates to solve informationproblems [1]. For engineering and technology students, workplace information use involves lessof the sources that are traditionally emphasized in academia (e.g., peer reviewed journal articles,books) and more of the resources heavily relied upon in industry, such as technical standards [2],[3], [4], [5]. Additionally, workplace projects require a high degree of interpersonal informationgathering and communication with colleagues [6], [7].Recent research from American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) indicatesthat employers view

During the third session, students received feedback from anothergroup and had the opportunity to revise their designs before they presented the final product atthe summer camp open house at the end of the week.This paper will discuss the collaboration between the College of Engineering and the makerspacelibrarian, as well as detailed information on the goals of the project, the

One of the key research projects published on engineering academics’ informationbehaviors from this time was a multi-institution study conducted in 2009 surveying engineeringfaculty members’ perceptions of a range of library services. The authors found a high degree ofvariability in participants’ responses across institutions, but the perceived importance ofelectronic access to current and archived scholarly journals was a consistent theme. Interlibraryloan services and library databases were chosen as the next most important library services, butthese services were selected much less frequently than electronic journals (Engel et al., 2011;Robbins et al., 2011). That study evaluated faculty’s perception of

in Large Engineering Databases – Tips and Recommendations for Literature ReviewsAbstract:Engineering and STEM librarians and researchers regularly use a number of disciplinarydatabases for finding literature. For evidence synthesis (ES) research projects, knowing databasecapabilities and how to most effectively search each database is critical. The complex, oftencomprehensive search strategies necessary for ES reviews can require use of “advanced” searchoptions and controlled vocabulary/index terms. However, the functionality of search interfacesused to access databases varies widely. Thus, searchers must expend more time and effort totranslate searches consistently, as each database has different features and limitations.This article

The College of Engineering consists of six academic departments andover twenty research laboratory sites. Undergraduate enrollment is around 1700, approximately275 graduate students, and 110 faculty members [3]. This project started with the questions of“are we meeting the needs of those we serve?” and “are we using our resources and spaceeffectively?” However, as the conversations progressed there was no straightforward way toanswer those questions and one of the first major hurdles was to

had trouble incorporating GL andstandards effectively into their senior capstone projects benefited greatly from a particularpedagogical intervention in their library instruction session [6]. A common theme from thesearticles is that students find it tricky to identify and access GL, and they are eager to learn theseskills. Librarians need to be equipped to help our patrons and therefore need to be well-versed inhow to find and access these resources as well.In 2001, at a moment when the internet was drastically revolutionizing how people produced anddisseminated GL materials, Thompson provided a set of key strategies for finding a number ofdifferent formats of commonly used GL, such as technical reports, standards, militaryspecifications and

Therefore,technical standards education must be deployed in the United States with higher quality andfrequency than in the past. To ensure this happens a deeper understanding of the currentchallenges facing technical standards education is necessary.MethodsThis paper is the second in a project aimed at providing technical standards education toundergraduate engineers.

Additionally, theIndigenous Peoples even though they are oral cultures, they also have what Western Europeanculture calls “trade secrets” or proprietary information. This proprietary knowledge is onlyshared with those designated within the Tribe to know the information. Part of the challengefacing all storage and retrieval sources is to have a way to index proprietary information withpublic terms to make it discoverable and available to those allowed to know.Currently, with efforts to revive ancient knowledge, it is helpful to find what we know has beenwritten about the specific engineering projects of the past.

Ultimately, Grigg found that a partnership with the Transfer Student Office was a major“win” of the project as that would be necessary to continue to grow library outreach efforts fortransfer students [10]. This paper demonstrates that librarians need to consider transfer studentswhen it comes to information literacy instruction.
