support to continue to beembedded in specialized fields such as engineering, especially as the institutions expands andgrows programs.Conclusion(s)A new subject liaison can learn a good deal about collection development by reading seminalworks such as the book edited by Conkling and Messer. The article by Brin [8] is particularlyuseful for libraries such as DSU’s, given that it focuses on medium-sized libraries buildingcollections to support new programs. However, these often assume at least a basic level ofknowledge of the discipline on the part of the liaison and a generous level of funding. The DSUlibrary’s experience was different and may help others in similar circumstances. The library deanand subject liaison successfully worked with

and potential collaborationbetween engineering librarians and mechanical engineering faculty. For the course in this study,the plan for next year will be to use these instructional activities again. It also has started thediscussion of where additional library collaboration earlier in the mechanical engineeringprogram would be appropriate and beneficial. This additional exposure and training will buildfamiliarity with information fluency skills, which may be perceived as difficult, but are essentialin the professional environment.Works Cited[1] G.

Research Council (NRC), in its report “Learning toThink Spatially”, refers to spatial thinking as a “universal mode of thinking”, and has recognizedit as an important skill in the 21st century, and further supports its integration in the K-12curriculum. 5GIS has long been recognized as having a critical role in enhancing students’ spatial literacy andas an important tool not only in the study of Geography, but increasingly across multipledisciplines and learning contexts. In her dissertation, Kim references the ongoing debate overhow to define the “S” in GIS (as either Systems, Studies, Science, or Service). 6 Several articlesdiscuss the importance of integrating spatial literacy in post-graduate/doctoral programs, andLuna and Miles report on the

Thispaper will report how well the initial module was received within an undergraduate course, suchthat the future modules can be improved upon.Utilizing Videos as a Supplement to Lecture The video format will be helpful for various learning environments. Undergraduate orgraduate students being introduced to codes and standards will be able to review the video(s)multiple times. Field professionals interested in only a particular module will be able to selectwhich video to watch based upon their need. Online tutorials have been found to help students’master key points or skills. For example, it was found that
