The explosion of publications, research data, and othersources of information available in the digital age poses a challenge for researchers to keepabreast of current developments in their fields. The Association of College and ResearchLibraries (ACRL) outlines some of the unique aspects of information literacy as it pertains toSTEM in its Information Literacy Standards for Science and Engineering/Technology.Challenges identified include the cost of peer reviewed journals, the plethora of grey literaturesources and need to understand who is funding and publishing these works; the ofteninterdisciplinary nature of discoveries; and the need for proficiency in working with a myriad ofdifferent formats of information, often requiring

the most relevant resultsfor a given query(14). While these approaches may have brought success in high school, thisquickly creates difficulty in successfully completing academic writing and research assignments.It is broadly agreed upon that there is a “significant skills gap in information competencies” ofincoming university students(15), such as identifying the type of information needed, findingjournal articles, and developing advanced search strategies(16). This does not necessarily renderincoming students information illiterate, for they are demonstrating a capacity to findinformation that can be further expanded. In the case of engineering students, the incomingcohorts are initially unaware of the vast information resources and
