-inch x 6-inch microfiche, however, insupport of the work of the TRAIL project, we switched our focus to the smaller formats onmicrofiche and microopaque. At the start of the project, we cataloged each individual title in the standard fashion –checking OCLC for existing records and creating descriptive metadata manually if not found. Itquickly became apparent that OCLC had few records for these items and the majority wouldrequire individual, i.e., original cataloging. Even moving quickly, it would take decades tocomplete the project in this manner so we explored ways to automate parts of the process.Several combinations of programs were employed, each adding a level of efficiency to theprocess of cataloging these reports. The programs

comprehensive graduate course in writing andpresenting for academic, scientific audiences. The course design combined elements of generalaudience writing courses with those of science and technology courses. For this course,assignments were delivered in a project-based learning format whereby each assignmentcombined to produce a conference-style paper and presentation. The use of writing-assistivetechnology was encouraged. This course was also designed to introduce engineering graduatestudents, many of whom are international students, to a wide variety of resources available tostudents on campus, including the UAB University Writing Center, the Center for Clinical andTranslational Science, and the UAB Libraries Office of Scholarly Communication.Tagsco

The materials will be designed to beapplicable in any course where students pair research with quantitative data analysis. This work-in-progress paper presents the theoretical models and existing research that will inform thecreation of the AI literacy learning outcomes and framework. This paper uses research on AIliteracy and competencies across

PlanningAbstract In the Fall of 2023, a team of STEM Librarians initiated a year-long research project,funded by their library, to examine students’ perceptions of their own information literacy skillsand assess their actual competencies. The study focused on both undergraduate and graduateSTEM students through an online survey designed to capture retrospective and targetedquestions regarding key areas such as information retrieval, evaluating sources, thinkingcritically, and citing accurately. The survey contained forty-three questions and was structuredinto eight sections: demographics, general information literacy perception, information sources,information seeking/retrieval, evaluating sources, critical thinking, citation management

education such as accessibility to equitable andquality education, promoting lifelong learning opportunities, and reducing educationalinequalities within and between countries [16], [17], [18]. It is designed as a flexible OER,suitable for learners at various stages—from first-year undergraduates to graduate students andindustry professionals. By focusing on common engineering skills, e-REF aims to enrichtechnical writing and data literacy competencies that students can apply throughout theiracademic and professional careers. Ultimately, this project advances OER integration byproviding a centralized, accessible resource, thereby helping to diversify and strengthen theeducational landscape for engineering students [16].This paper presents the

-part series of articles published in 2013, Sewell describes the multi-step process neededfor a library to go fully bookless. The first article covers the topics of deselection and relocationof the collection, while the second is about managing and conducting access services with nobooks on-site.[5], [6]More recently, the University of Southern California had to “reimagine” its Science andEngineering Library after the school of engineering repurposed about a third of their originalspace. Although the library did not go fully “bookless”, a major deselection project wasconducted to resize the collection for the reduced space. Their experience also gave them theopportunity to create an internal collection development policy to assist with future

Michigan.Ms. Kelly Durkin Ruth, United States Naval Academy Kelly Durkin Ruth is the United States Naval Academy’s engineering librarian. She is a recipient of an ATG Media Up and Comers Award and an SLA James M. Matarazzo Rising Star Award. Her work with SLA’s Physics-Astronomy-Math division and ASEE’s Engineering Libraries Division has led to research projects on the experiences of STEM librarians without STEM degrees and on STEM librarian professional motivations. In 2023 she was named an Institute for Research Design in Librarianship (IRDL) scholar. She received her Master of Information degree from the University of Toronto.Ms. Amber Janssen, California State University Maritime Academy Amber Janssen is an Associate

To improve response time to the ever-increasing demands, the´ETS library team sought ways to optimize report production time. They were motivated tocollaborate with the project developers to create a time-saving solution that also allowed them toreflect on priorities, improve deliverables, and enhance workflow. The chosen name for thisproject is AutoBib (Automation of Bibliometric reports).The early involvement of library staff in the development of AutoBib facilitates its adoption, astheir specific needs and work environment were taken into account.

in Pattee Library. This event was highly successful, with135 unique attendees: more than half from STEM disciplines.The main goal of the Writing Retreat is to provide space and time for graduate students to workon writing projects, such as theses, dissertations, academic projects, or research outputs. As seenin figure 3, participants could share their writing goals on a whiteboard, adding a degree ofaccountability that some participants reported they appreciated. Secondary goals includeproviding low-stakes social interaction for students while supporting their cognitive load byreducing distractions and providing basic needs like food (and caffeine) while they write. Theevent planners create and distribute study packs for attendees that

For further discussion and definitions of disability termsrelevant to this study, please see Appendix F.The authors identify as white, cis-gender, female, invisibly disabled librarians who supportSTEM disciplines at R1 universities. They chose to use identity-first language (disabled person),as opposed to person-first language (person with disabilities) in the survey instrument used inthis research project. This aligns with their personal preferences and the language conventionstypically used in Disability Justice scholarship [19], [20], [21], [22]. In this publication, they useboth

Analysis of broader infrastructure, policy, and laws that did not contain any discussion of students in transition to adulthood and/or higher education.Once the final dataset was compiled, it was imported into Biblioshiny for analysis. Biblioshinyprovides a web interface for Bibliometrix, which uses a science mapping workflow to provide asuite of instruments for bibliometric analysis [28].
