Handbook (CEH) now contains reports withinformation on supply/demand, manufacturing processes, and prices for over 300 chemicals.7,8 Asmall number of academic libraries purchased the print loose-leaf early on, but CEH was mainlymarketed to industry and priced accordingly. IHS acquired SRI Consulting in 2010, whichincluded the CEH. Now available online, cost and licensing terms resulted in only a smallnumber of academic libraries acquiring the CEH. Another major commercial entity in thechemical pricing marketplace is ICIS (originally Independent Chemical Information Services andnow a division of Reed Business Information), publisher of ICIS Chemical Business, chemicalprice reports, and related products and services.9,10Bulk versus Laboratory

resource can easily be integrated into existingundergraduate, graduate, and professional development courses. This project includes thedevelopment of video modules to educate students about the role of codes and standards inengineering and technology disciplines, particularly fire protection engineering and relatedfields. The objective of the videos is to help students and other viewers understand the standarddevelopment process and the applications of codes and standards. The standards to be addressedin the videos are product standards (e.g. ones from Underwriters Laboratories and FactoryMutual), installation and maintenance standards (e.g. standards related to systems from theNational Fire Protection Association), and model codes (e.g. ones from

Sponsor a girls technology summer camp where women engineering students help teach middle school girlsThrough outreach programs, women engineering students promote the engineering profession tomiddle school girls as they begin taking the math and science classes they will need as anengineering college major.5 Started in the summer of 2016 and continuing in the summer of2017, a week-long full day camp for middle school girls was held at the UF science andengineering library. Teaming with women engineering students to teach the middle school girlscreative technologies reinforced the women engineering students’ belief in their own abilities.3. Hold a human

It is well known that early exposure toSTEM environments can inculcate and reinforce interests in technical fields at key decisionpoints when individuals choose career pathways [1]–[3]. Given the importance of a strong STEMtalent-base to global economic competitiveness and prosperity, there exists a need to cultivate apre-college landscape gives all students broad, authentic exposure to STEM fields earlier in theireducation [4]. In the framework of cognitive career theory, individuals choose careers based oninterests, attitudes, and values

recording of protocols and progress has been done via paper labnotebooks. With the popularity of the internet, many have been turning to electronicmeans to record their study data, though this does not imply that paper lab notebookshave been completely abandoned. In the beginning, many were making use of tools notnecessarily created for the sole use in laboratories, such as Microsoft Word, Evernote,Google Docs, or other means of recording notes online and/or via a computer.However, there proved to be a market for products used especially by those doingresearch on scientific fields and thus the electronic lab notebook was born. New YorkUniversity Abu Dhabi has a growing faculty specializing in STEM fields. As with anyother university, the STEM

growing need for help with GIS support, the University Library set out to develop a structurefor the support of Spatial Literacy on campus.Engineering support in the library has traditionally remained firmly text based, supporting theacademic side of Engineering research, but leaving much data development and practice in thedomain of the laboratory. In fact, there has been little demand from instructors for libraryinstruction in Engineering classes. In contrast to this trend, the Initiative for Spatial Literacy waslaunched by the libraries, by the hiring of an adjunct faculty member from the School ofEngineering who spearheads the program, collaborating with the university’s EngineeringLibrarian. This article will explain what spatial literacy is

service at their university. Instruction style can vary as well with seminars, workshopsand stand-alone courses being used to teach RDM skills. Who teaches RDM can vary just asmuch as the audience: librarians teaching alone or in teams, librarian and faculty combinations,librarian and IT professionals, and any combination of the above including guest speakers. Often,there is preparatory work that may include interviews, laboratory reviews, surveys or other toolsthat aid in getting informative information to facilitate the work toward RDM instruction. Inorder to illustrate the benefits of the team approach to RDM instruction and the trend towardcredit classes, Table 1 compares the course type, date, instructor method, preparatory work andthe
