and the resultscompared. The WIPO patent database does not have citation searching capabilities, so nocomparison could be made with the other three databases.Other free and commercial patent databases, such as Patent Lens, FreePatentsOnline, GooglePatents, and Derwent Innovations Index, and specialized databases that index patents, such asChemical Abstracts/SciFinder, were not included in this study due to lack of time and space.3. Citations in Patent DocumentsAccording to ISO standard 690:2010, a citation is an “indication within the text or other form ofcontent of a relevant reference” and a reference is “data describing a resource or part thereof,sufficiently precise and detailed to identify it and to enable it to be located.”8 The purpose

engineering librarians haveworked on detailed methods to review citations used by undergraduates. Mohler and Yu,Sullivan, and Woodall provided evidence of the usefulness of this method.14,15 In 2010 Denick,Bhatt, and Layton contributed further work to this method of analysis.16 In 2013 Wertz,Fosmire, Purzer, and Cardella made available their sophisticated Information Seeking,Evaluation, Application, and Documentation (InfoSEAD) protocol. InfoSEAD is extensive indetail and can be used to assess higher order thinking skills related to information seeking anduse by engineering undergraduates.17Significant research has been reported on embedded librarianship, and the effectiveness offaculty-librarian collaborations in teaching information literacy.
