Because the study of engineering is directlyinfluenced by industry standards, we look to Anderson et al’s 3 work on the information sourcesused by engineering professionals, specifically those in the aerospace industry, as an example ofthe professional behaviour that both undergirds the information seeking of engineering studentsand may serve as a model for students when they are on coop work-terms or complete theireducation and enter the work force.Information

Added DecisionMaking for Managers” (2012) by Kenneth Chelst, requested a total of 34 times over five years.This title was requested 3 to 7 times in each of the years 2013-2016, then requested 17 times in2017 alone. This suggests the book was used as a course textbook, though this theory does notfully explain why the demand for the book suddenly increased that year. Presumably, if the bookwas being used as a required text, demand should have remained fairly consistent through theyears. Industrial & Manufacturing Systems Engineering graduate students were responsible forthe majority of the requests, with a few Aerospace Engineering graduate students requesting thebook as well.

Engineering was by far the most frequent visitor, with 276 (44.09%) of the totalcheck-outs recorded, followed by Electrical Engineering with 66 (10.54%), Library Staff with 41(6.55%), Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering with 37 (5.91%), and Computer Science with18 (2.88%). Unsurprisingly, of the 40 departments recorded, the vast majority are engineering orhard science disciplines. However, we were encouraged by some significant numbers from non-traditional fields. Humanities and Social Science had 12 checkouts, Agriculture and LifeSciences had 11, and the Ph.D. program in Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media had 10checkouts. While we are uncertain whether these checkout numbers represent one or two devotedindividuals or a broader cohort within
