desire to properly address these challenges in my new work environment, I lookedfor frameworks to help organize thoughts, plans, and goals in order to be solutions oriented andforward thinking. Solution-focused therapy, while primarily applied in the field of psychology,has also been applied to organizational studies and workplace culture as it emphasizes coaching,finding cooperation, feedback, conflict resolution, and situation management [1]. Thisframework provided a method to rank problems, identify factors outside of my or my unit’scontrol, and craft solutions [2]. This model was originally appealing because it provided aframework for discussing these problems with my entire unit; by emphasizing solutions,cooperation, and feedback, the

The College of Engineering (COE) has nineacademic departments and an enrollment of more than 10,000 students, which includes roughly7,000 undergraduate students [10].In recent years, the strategic plans for both NC State and the College of Engineering haveincluded undergraduate research as a high-impact educational experience that can increasestudent success[11], [12]. To this end, NC State offers research opportunities to undergraduatesin a variety of environments. Students can conduct research through paid semester- or year-longlab-based experiences; department or college honors programs; credit-giving, research-basedclasses

Librarian held peer mentor meetings on a monthlybasis during the Business Librarian’s first year at JMU. Early meetings focused on campusculture, library procedures, and the promotion and tenure process. As the Business Librariansettled into her role, they began to spend more time talking about specific issues in her work as aliaison. These topics also arose during casual interactions in the office suite.Through these conversations, both librarians became more aware of the overlap between theirsubject areas. For instance, students working on business plan proposals often need to search forpatents, engineering standards, and information on materials science and manufacturingprocesses. The Business Librarian had sometimes struggled to help these

science resources. With input from the EngineeringLibrarian, the UEL and STEM librarian developed a lesson plan to introduce students to a varietyof resources in a fast-paced manner. Rather than provide in-depth introductions to one or tworesources, the workshop would provide a high-level overview of a variety of resources. As first-year students were likely unfamiliar with the library, the workshop started with an introductionto the library as a physical space and the library website as a virtual space. Students learned howto use the library catalog to find books and e-books. They were also introduced to the library’sresearch subject guides, which provide relevant resources for individual subject areas. The bulkof the workshop featured

The results help librarians build a foundation for future DMP services [2]. Coatesand others examined five case studies that highlight common challenges for librarians to evaluateexisting research data services in academic libraries, and suggested that evidence-based approachprovides valuable information for assessing the still-emerging services [3].

The ALA panel described in [4] includes a description of how mentors at thePhoenix Public Library take a year to monitor new selectors followed by deeper training.Another key assumption outlined in [10] is that training is required at both a macro and microlevel. The macro level includes subject expertise, the publishing landscape and knowledge aboutdisciplinary patterns and habits. Many articles described their in-depth training methods for newselectors [11], [12], [13].

The second goal of the study was to take a holisticapproach and examine engineering faculty’s criteria during the publication selection process as itrelates to formal and informal publishing. Faculty publishing choices are not exclusivelydependent on one set of guidelines; therefore, by exploring PRT in tandem with other criteria forselecting publishing venues, the authors expect to gain a deeper understanding of currentpublishing practices within engineering. Using this deeper understanding, the engineeringlibrarian and scholarly communication librarian plan to educate

In addition, some professors, who had noticed the positiveimpact of the Library IL training at the undergraduate level, requested similar training forgraduate students [24]. Moreover, the rapid development of specialized bibliographic databasesled to an increase in the number of reference questions received at the Library, even though theengineering students were accustomed to using information

Evidence-based decision-making leads those working in every aspect of higher education today to seek out or deviseassessment tools and plans to observe efficacy and introduce well-considered evidence-basedchanges where room for improvement in outcomes seems indicated. The National Survey ofStudent Engagement, or NSSE, is a widely applied instrument in the U.S. and Canada. NSSEallows participating institutions to get a periodic high-level snapshot of how their incoming First-year and near-graduation (Senior) students compare to one another, and compare to those fromother similar institutions, in their self-perceptions of

As described by Tom Eppes et al., scaffoldingorganizes learning into progressively challenging modules in which assistance is graduallyremoved as students develop and practice new skills [7]. Each time students revisit a particularskill or concept, they become more confident in their ability to use it in their coursework.

to being comprehensive, the search must betransparent and reproducible; it is common to have the search strategy for a systematic reviewundergo peer review by another librarian before searching is carried out. This emphasis onquality search has led to the adoption of a variety of librarian roles in the execution of asystematic review. A 2018 scoping review ​[19]​ identified eighteen roles filled by librarians insystematic reviews. In addition to the expected roles of searching, source selection, andevaluation, the authors also documented librarians acting in planning, question formulation andpeer review roles. The roles described are not mutually exclusive; often a librarian will take onseveral of these roles as part of a given systematic

Determining a question focus that is the topic in which the student will write about whether this is self-chosen or pre-determined by the instructors. 2. Producing questions using a set of four rules that essentially allows the student to ask what is of particular interest to them about the question focus without limitation or judgement. 3. Identifying closed and open-ended questions, and how to use them appropriately. 4. Selection of priority questions. 5. Planning how to continue after the questions have been
