first year of graduate school, most students are asked to do a literature searchfor a class, or are beginning to look at prior work as they decide on a focus for their thesis,dissertation, or Master‟s project. At that point, they realize that they will not be able to findeverything they need with their current set of Web-searching tools and skills.Engineering librarians are challenged to engage with these new students at just the right time.Properly marketed, online tutorials may provide part of the solution. This paper explores how theauthor used citation analysis and discussions with faculty, students, and colleagues to design aset of tutorials that teach graduate students both how to find what they need, and why they needit in the first

This definition impliesthat collaborative activities are different from individual ones as they include communicatingabout the information need, sharing the retrieved information within the team, and coordinatingthe constituent information retrieval activities across multiple participants.Another study has defined collaborative information behaviour as “an information access activityrelated to a specific problem solving activity that, implicitly or explicitly, involves human beingsinteracting with other human(s) directly and/or through texts (e.g., documents, notes, figures) asinformation sources in an work task related information seeking and retrieval process either in aspecific workplace setting or in a

This campuspolicy is in line with the Ithaka S+R recommendations: “What to Withdraw? Print CollectionsManagement in the Wake of Digitization.4” For our project, however, this policy meant that printmaterials we would have considered withdrawing must be maintained somewhere on campus.In our library, the only weeding criteria located consisted of general guidelines on what to sendto the now full storage facilities. Because weeding policies did not exist, we developed initialguidelines that we continued to modify as the project progressed and new reports becameavailable. From the beginning, our guiding principles were to

information literacy skills are relevant to the work ofengineers requires new pedagogies. One such pedagogy is problem-based learning (PBL) wherea real-life situation is introduced and students use information literacy skills to complete theassignment. Students will gain essential knowledge while seeing how those skills fit into theengineering design process. This paper will describe problem-based learning as it can be appliedto information literacy in engineering classes. The author‟s experience in using PBL to teachinformation literacy in a freshman design class is also described.Introduction Conducting information literacy instruction sessions that are relevant and interesting tothe students, while providing useful skills, has long been a
