profiles are also important as a means to facilitate networking within institutions andprofessional societies, disseminating research and best practices, identifying expertise, recruitingnew members to professional societies and boards, and connecting with mentors.The purpose of this study is to explore the current development, characteristics and positioningof online engineering librarian profiles. Profiles of members of the Engineering LibrariansDivision (ELD) of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) were compiled andanalyzed by element, currency and platform. Examples of profile elements include personalphoto, contact information, education, career biography, title and rank, subject expertise,research interests, video recordings

upcoming career fair had thestaff thinking the students might want a session with the Business Librarian to learn how to usevarious database to search for information on the company they were going to interact with at thefair. The last class added was one related to a genome and protein database. Since one of thedepartments in the College of Engineering is Biomedical Engineering, there has been quite a bitof research being done on genomes and proteins so it was thought they might be interested in thisclass. After all this debate, the library staff arrived at a listing of which classes would be offeredfor the first semester, Spring 2013. They were Library Overview, RefWorks, Standards, Web ofScience, Finding Company Information, PubMed, SciFinder

, predatory publishers use morethird-party email addresses, claim false impact factors, fake rapid peer review, and simulateacademic expertise. This is the first study to investigate predatory publishing through anempirical social science lens and our results suggest that there are quantifiable linguistic andmeta-linguistic indicators that can, to some degree, distinguish between predatory publishers andthose journals that seek to publish honestly.Introduction In recent years, the rise of scientific misconduct has drawn attention to the “publish orperish” mentality consuming academia, which highlights a drive for researchers to publish earlyand often in their career.3 The pressure to publish regularly can tamper with the quality ofresearch and

information literacy competency requirements The recently revised Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board’s accreditation criteria6have higher expectations of information research skills for undergraduate engineering graduatesthan ever before. Among the 12 graduate attributes, problem analysis, investigation,communication skills, ethics and equity, and life-long learning are closely associated withinformation literacy (IL) competencies and can be addressed by academic librarians themselvesor in collaboration with different units on campus. IL training may help this group of studentsbecome better empowered to use information effectively, which has the potential to contribute totheir overall academic and career success.Role of undergraduate
