A library design contest for engineering studentsBackground Bern Dibner Library of Science and Technology is an academic engineering librarysupporting the teaching and research needs of the faculty and student body of the New YorkUniversity Tandon School of Engineering. Tandon maintains a student population of about5,000 students, with roughly an even distribution between undergraduate and graduate students[1]. Located in Brooklyn, New York, Dibner Library is in an urban

students need for four individual assignments and two group assignments. In theinterest of clarity for the user, the guide does not include specific resources for all assignmentsthat occur throughout the semester. Instead, the team identified the best candidates forbibliographic instruction relative to timing during the semester, the knowledge practices neededto complete an assignment, and skills needed across the entire course (see Appendix 2). Forexample, the course coordinator had identified poor student performance in using crediblesources as a major problem, so identifying sources and assessing credibility is emphasizedthroughout the redesigned Research Guide.Tabs were created for individual assignments as follows:• Review of an engineering

their very first discipline-specific class.On the graduate and Ph.D. level of both universities, original research and professionalpublication come again to the forefront. In recent years, there has been a growing push on manycampuses for additional Undergraduate Research programs where not only graduate students, butalso undergraduate students take an active part on current faculty research, including, in somecases, co-authoring with faculty on research articles. This changing environment offers newopportunities for information literacy training and engineering librarian partnerships withresearch groups.This diversity of needs means that the new engineering librarian must take time to carefullystudy the engineering college’s website and to

usually taught by engineering faculty and areunder the control of engineering departments. Third, unlike introductory design courses orintroductory programming courses, these courses have fairly consistent content from oneinstitution to the next. For these reasons, the authors felt that the engineering mechanics coursesrepresent the best way for a few high-quality OER resources to have the largest impact onstudents, the largest return on investment if you will.2.

at SMU. Working across the boundaries of urbanism, landscape mapping, and public engagement, Zarazaga explores ways to connect culture and community to place. Using GIS and participatory community mapping, she explores the impact of civil and environmental choices on the design of the sustainable city. Trained in architecture and urban design, her research spans education and practice, working on the integration of community research into project based learning. Her work overlaps areas of GIS mapping, global sustainable urbanism, design and cre- ativity. She undertook a Fulbright in Valpara´ıso, Chile, to investigate, and map, devices of landscape as inspirations for the orders of community space

under Sciences or Engineering.Pre-Use SurveyAs a STEM Librarian, Amani Magid provides outreach to her constituents via STEMLibrarian Day. Every other week, she spends the day in the science building, fieldingquestions about library resources and services. As this service has been provided forthe last 4 years, she has become acquainted with many of the faculty, staff, postdocsand graduate students, even given the growth of the university. As a result, there aresome who attend the STEM Librarian Day for the social aspect, as said Librarianwelcomes this as well, for it forges ties and can build friendships. On one such day, oneof the scientists who came for a social visit, began talking about business and began todiscuss the instrumentation he
