In designing the questions, we purposefully made aneffort to address contemporary topics in a broad cross-section of engineering disciplines, whichwe deem a success based on this feedback.Conclusion & Future DirectionsTechnological savviness alone does not produce a society of information literate, criticalthinkers.

librarians who were members of SPEE/ASEE in the 1940s and 1950s have written littleabout their experiences. Johanna E. Tallman, head of the Engineering Library at the Universityof California, Los Angeles, joined ASEE in 1948 and was an active member through the mid-1950s. Her autobiography3, which she published in 1985 following her retirement from theCalifornia Institute of Technology, mentions ASEE only in passing.The primary sources consulted for this paper include the Proceedings of the SPEE, whichprovide a record of the society’s meetings, governance, organization, membership anddiscussions from 1893 to the present.

some hesitancy to use Twitter for professional development,even among librarians who completed their library degree less than five years ago13. In anethnographic study of a Texas school librarian Twitter chat group, the majority ofrespondents to a survey reported that they found the chat group useful in allowing them tolearn about new technology and trends in their field14. Twitter can also be used to holdprofessional development events, such as with #uklibchat, and to attend conferences andtraining events virtually, provided people attending those events are tweeting about it15.Subclaim 2.1 Attend engineering lectures at your institutionAlong the way of “patenting” a new engineering librarian, it was essential that the authorlearn the

collections. This all occurredfollowing the consolidation of 4 departmental libraries 3 years prior. For over a year, studentsand faculty had to adjust to new locations for collections, course reserves, and services. A strategy within our Science & Engineering division has been to move away from thetraditional role of subject librarians and towards a team approach. Four vacancies werereconfigured to support this change: Research Services Coordinator, Collection Assessment andAnalysis Librarian, Emerging Technologies Coordinator, and Digital Science Librarian. Ourteam worked together to develop a three-step approach for outreach and marketing to our users.This approach included creating a regularly distributed newsletter, starting an
