science and engineering in a variety of contexts, both in and out of school.Participation in informal science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities,along with interest in STEM subjects, is associated with interest in STEM careers when studentsreach the university level [1]. Out-of-school, informal learning can occur at a variety of sites,including everyday experiences; designed sites such as museums, nature preserves, and libraries;and structured programs such as after-school activities and summer camps [2]. This paperdescribes the programming provided at one academic library to a STEM summer camp formiddle schoolers [3] and explores the opportunities and challenges of this kind of programmingin an academic library.STEM

andestablished as a national committee in 1942, ELD achieved divisional status within ASEE in1967. This year, 2017, marks the 50th anniversary of ELD’s division status and the 75thanniversary of the first Engineering School Libraries Committee. This paper explores the historyof ELD from 1960 to the present. The author’s preceding paper, published in 2016, covered thehistory of librarians in ASEE from 1893 through the 1950s.[1]The history of ELD over the past fifty years has been marked by three major themes or trends.The first trend is rapid and continuous technological change, beginning in the late 1950s, that hastransformed how scientific and technical information is created, disseminated, stored, andretrieved. The 1970s and 1980s was a time of rapid

Also, this space provides a very natural feel: the sleek design, abundant windows and natural lighting provides a sense of comfort and mental clarity when processing complicated problem sets or feeling overwhelmed by course work; we are very grateful for its existence. Thank you again for helping to enrich my academic experience and I hope you can continue to support my desire to make a change in the world.Outreach: Kick-Start ProjectThe Creative Space is part of an entire network within the College of

organizations.From our review of ELD publications in the ASEE proceedings, we observed limited co-authorship, decreased collaboration with professionals outside librarianship, and a lack ofinternational collaborations between ELD members. It is obvious that ELD is having feweropportunities to participate in conference programs with other ASEE divisions and perpetuationof this state has been extensively discussed in recent ELD meetings. We suggest that the ELDleadership develop a strategic approach to increased collaboration with other divisions,particularly those that provide support to engineering education such as Computing &Information Technology, Continuing Professional Development, Educational Research &Methods, and Women in Engineering.In

Approximately 78% ofeligible students participate in this workshop during which they receive a basic introduction tolibrary resources in the context of an assignment focused on career planning. In addition to thisannual workshop, interested professors may contact the engineering librarian directly to requestlibrary instruction sessions. These individual requests from professors, which generate a fewsessions each semester, are usually spurred by

: Library Guide for IDIS 303Whenever a team was having problems developing search terms/keywords, the librarian wouldswitch over to Google Scholar to give them a familiar place to search. For some reason studentshad an easier time experimenting in Google Scholar than in any other database. The librarian andstudents then discussed the use of quotes, date ranges, and the advance search. Afterwards, thespecialized engineering databases would be searched with the newly found search terms. Asdocuments are found, the librarian explained where each would fit in their outline. Emphasis wasplaced on finding a variety of information to fill a 15 page paper. Sometimes the teams gravitatedto the history of technology and pricing but that information is out of
