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).

The introduction of Team-based learning (TBL) in the 1980s marked a significant shift inaddressing the challenges of large class settings in educational environments [1], [2]. Originally abusiness school innovation, TBL has now permeated various disciplines including engineering,medicine, and social sciences globally. Some courses, such as first-year engineering, maycombine TBL with project-based learning (PBL) to introduce students to common engineeringthemes such as design, sustainability, and ethics. Despite its wide-ranging benefits, TBL'seffectiveness can be inequitable for a variety of reasons, including free riders, imbalances in taskallocation, and more broad communication issues [3], [4]. Thus, the application of teamworkassessment
