In the section on Results of this article these set of criteria will be further discussed.In order to determine the main characteristics of electrical engineering and mechanicalengineering LibGuides and their content, data was obtained by direct observation of their mainpages, all the boxes and all the tabs. Each LibGuide was taken as a unit of analysis; a completeanalysis was done to determine the design and space distribution of the home page, the headingsused in tabs and boxes, the use of technological devices (widgets, links

program, we adopteda team approach, pulling together internal library collaborators from across various instruction,management, technology, and engineering subject expertise. A librarian with a strong interest inemerging technologies and instructional design served as project manager to coordinatetechnology identification, instructional design, and development of the online learning materials.Library administrators contributed to policy issues in order to build the teams and to identify thefunding for needed equipment. Library subject experts and liaisons prepared the instructionalmodules and provide day-to-day support for student questions. Our e-learning librarian led thedevelopment of instructional modules for general information tasks such as

As return on investment bythe publishers in ebook heavily depends on volume sales, graduate level sales of textbookscannot match those at undergraduate levels thus limiting incentives.The survey results can be used to observe differences between students by major. The groupingsof majors are by schools at SPSU, with the exception that Construction Management is in thesame school as Architecture at SPSU, but is grouped with Engineering Technology andManagement for the purposes of this analysis. Figure 3 shows how the type of book acquiredvaries with major (without regard to what form of book). Figure 3: Form of book acquired by major.It can be
