. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 ILL Communication: Analyzing five years of Iowa State University’s print Interlibrary Loan requests Abstract Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service offered by libraries to supply patrons with materialswhich are not immediately available for lending. This could be for many reasons; the librarymight not own the item, the library may own a copy but it is already checked out to anotherpatron, or the assignment of a required but expensive textbook spurs high demand for aparticular title. Analysis of historical ILL request data is a useful exercise to undertake as each requestrepresents a patron with an information need which was not

), creates adisconnect between students and the desire of librarians or faculty to teach traditionalresearch and information seeking skills.A scoping review was conducted using the Arksey and O’Malley modified framework.Six databases focusing on information, education, and engineering research weresearched (LISA, ERIC full-text, ASEE, ScienceDirect, EducationSource, and Scopus).Papers were included if they addressed engineering student information seekingbehaviors or needs. Studies that focused on social science or humanities students wereexcluded. The data were examined to find methodological trends, research areas, gaps inknowledge, and key findings. This review included 44 articles in the final review.Analysis grouped research into four emerging

/faculty in the use of our physicaland virtual library spaces, getting out on campus in as many ways as possible is the key toincreasing the library’s visibility and usefulness to all students and faculty. This will, in turn,create more opportunities for the NJIT community to know where to go for their informationliteracy needs. Although there were mixed results in our initial pop-up library program, it mayprove worthwhile to continue to experiment with this method next semester.References[1] ABET ​Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs​,​ ​2018-2019 [Online] https://www.abet.org/accreditation/accreditation-criteria/criteria-for-accrediting-engineerin g-programs-2018-2019/ [Accessed November 29, 2018].[2] B.P.

Being deferential to authority figures or not beingconfident in their verbal communication skills may cause ESL and international students eithernot to interact with a librarian or to accept the resources the librarian provided even if it was notexactly what they wanted. In-service training from the university diversity office or similarcampus resource could be useful.Lately there have been increased efforts by universities as well as organizations such as theAmerican Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) and Society of Women Engineers (SWE)to encourage women to enter the STEM disciplines and to retain women who are undertakingthose majors.
