enumerates numerous additional reasons that engineers may not use physicallibraries, ranging from the practical (having to travel some distance compared to the convenienceof remotely accessing online resources) to the psychological (the phenomenon of libraryanxiety).21-27 To overcome this, the scholarly record reflects numerous innovative efforts bySTEM liaison librarians to reach these hermetic students and researchers. Previous initiativesrecorded in the literature include reorganizing staffing at service points to provide subjectspecialists with more time for advanced research questions,28 revamping libraries’ web presenceto make subject specialists more visible,29 launching satellite reference services within academicbuildings,30-32 creating

After careful consideration, the library believed it could domore marketing and expand the different types of workshops offered. The marketing expansionwas planned to take place in two phases. The first phase, during the fall 2016 semester, wouldinclude developing, printing and posting flyers (see Appendix B) around campus and offeringadditional workshops on new topics. The second phase, which began in the spring 2017 semesterincluded using social media to promote the service, promoting the service by telling the personalstories behind patrons

Out-of-date books and redundant information would be a thing of the past.Although Easton had not suggested that libraries would soon be obsolete, the ESLC’s 1964program reflected an understandable level of anxiety among engineering librarians. The firstsession was called “The Elimination of the Technical Library” and featured papers such as“Vitality of the Technical Library” by Sam Cabeen of the New York-based EngineeringSocieties Library and “Future of the Special Librarian: Bright or Bleak?” by Alan M.
