Case Western Reserve University, leads the Computation Fire Dynamics Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering since 2015. Dr. Liao’s research projects range from basic fire science (material flammability, solid pyrolysis, ignition, microgravity combustion, flame spread, etc.) to understanding fire behavior in specific situations (such as structures, spacecraft, or wildland fires). Her work has been supported by NSF, NASA, CASIS, and UL. She currently serves on the Board of Advisors in the Central State Section of the Combustion Institute. From 2013-2014, Dr. Liao worked on thermal fluids and two-phase flow problems in the petroleum industry as a consultant and as a thermo-fluids

section 2, were launched between 2009 and2014.2. Identifying the needs of graduate students and facultyThe 2009 assessment, performed by the Professional Enrichment Center, in collaboration withthe Office of Graduate Studies, surveyed 214 graduate students and organized various focusgroups with eight graduate program coordinators. The participants reported deficiencies in a)technical writing and communication skills, b) search strategies, and c) research integrity. Theassessments also exposed unsatisfactory and inadequate laboratory facilities for graduateresearch, as well as the lack of accommodations for collaborative learning. These findings agreewith the literature regarding support services for graduate students [3-6].In 2012, the Research

undergraduates who may not have the need to interact withlibrary resources or liaison librarians until farther along in their undergraduate or graduatestudies due to other course requirements mostly consisting of engineering fundamentals, andfocus in laboratory and design assignments. The benefits of taking the library to the studentsinclude providing opportunities for the library staff to meet more students and faculty, promotelibrary research resources, and create follow-up appointments for one-on-one research assistance.This paper discusses the implementation details of the program, such as, determining the bestlocations for the pop-up library, the marketing and publicity of each pop-up, the types ofresources and services that were highlighted, and

our faculty publicationsfor the past 20 years. We noticed that some research topics were clearly distinguished from each otherbecause those research areas had been in existence for several years, resulting in a large number ofpublications. For example, the topic of toxicology in environment (Topic 2 in Appendix 1) reflected alarge research program on air pollutants that had been running for twelve years. The results also gave usan insight into some research areas which we had never recognized. An example would be the topic oflung imaging (Topic 3 in Appendix 1) which was aligned with a research laboratory studying pulmonaryimaging. Since many words occurring in the topics were technical jargons, we referred to thebibliographic records and
