know that community thoroughly.In contrast, the public services staff at the D. H. Hill Library were less mindful of engineeringusers because they were not working with them directly and because engineers made up a smallpercentage of their interactions at the service points. As the overall library organization began totransition to the new reality that Hunt Library would bring, it became apparent that these staffhad a very different experience of library users, and had many assumptions about what kinds ofservices would be necessary and important in Hunt. For example, it was thought that staff wouldneed to be trained to handle the types of reference questions that were typically asked at thereference desk at D. H. Hill. However, the engineering

October 2014 a similar survey was sent to Engineering News Record's Top 500 Design Firms.The purpose of both surveys was to assess the prevalence of degreed librarians and the types ofresources available in engineering design firms. In the decade since 2004, when the articledescribing the survey results was published1, the U.S. experienced an economic crisis. With thisin mind, the author of the original survey wanted to repeat the study to learn what, if anythinghad changed at the engineering firms in the preceding decade. In October 2014 a survey wasmailed to 500 engineering design firms using the most recent version of the Engineering NewsRecord’s Top 500 Design Firm list.BackgroundAs in 2004, there is still no other detailed study of

Specifics have to do with field of work and PE license.Mechanical and civil engineers working with equipment or structural design should befamiliar with AWS welding standards. Engineers working with pressure systems, boilers, ornuclear equipment should be familiar with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Mostother standards we contact internal company experts to get guidance (for example OSHAstandards on scaffolding, hoisting and rigging, etc.).I do not have a standard that comes to mind for all disciplinesWhile in academia students and faculty are able to access standards though databasesubscriptions or request for purchase

the CE department students. Because these conditions made collections management and thedevelopment of any liaison relationship difficult, it became clear that I must adopt a different approach in orderto learn about the faculty members’ research interests, productivity, scientific collaborations, and impact.Performing citation analysis of the publications authored by the faculty members appeared an obvious firstchoice. With this background information in mind, I began the study of the Civil Engineering (CE) departmentin fall 2013 with the retrieval of publications by the faculty from the Web of Science Core Collections (WOS)using the “Author Finder” feature in combination with additional filters: “Technology” as the “ResearchDomain,” “Case

Therefore, while some of the results of our study are not surprising,they provide data that shows the value of the educational experiences that non-faculty librarianscan help to create, and also guide us in making those experiences as impactful, but also asefficiently administered as possible. We contribute to the literature of engineering librarianshipand student outcomes assessment in that the type of projects we review are not widely assessedand reported.Our research is framed in the understanding that project-based learning (PBL) is effective

Paretti is an Associate Professor of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech, where she co- directs the Virginia Tech Engineering Communications Center (VTECC). Her research focuses on com- munication in engineering design, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration, design education, and gender in engineering. She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring com- munication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication
