Since20% of this class was students from non-US cultures, it can be seen that the lack of ethicalwriting practices is much broader than the often assumed cultural misunderstanding and different Page 23.450.9early educational experiences.This paper is limited to the individual work the students completed during the semester.

In response to the increased emphasis oneducating engineers for global citizenship, the engineering curriculum is changing to address theincreased internationalization of engineering education. In this context, engineering libraries arealso called upon to assess their role in supporting academic programs with global reach and tofind new ways of becoming active partners in educating the Global Engineer. This paperhighlights collaborative work and actions taken by one library to increase its role in assistingengineering students in their endeavor to

Throughout these transformations, the University’s senior leadership alwaysapproved the proposed changes and maintained the mandatory information literacy training.Students participating in the training sessions filled teaching evaluation surveys, for which theresults are presented in this paper. The surveys asked the students about their degree ofsatisfaction regarding the different objectives of the training sessions, namely defining aninformation need, building and optimizing a search strategy, finding information sources relevantto their field, and learning how to ethically use information. The surveys also asked whethersufficient time

Among the 12 graduate attributes, problem analysis, investigation,communication skills, ethics and equity, and life-long learning are closely associated withinformation literacy (IL) competencies and can be addressed by academic librarians themselvesor in collaboration with different units on campus.

students, not just those in DAEN, about concepts such as copyright,licenses and terms of use. For instance, raising student awareness regarding licensing issues forprojects using a proprietary database such as Nexis Uni® is important. Automated text and datamining are not allowed in Nexis Uni® and other library databases, thereby restricting someprojects proposed by students. We need increased opportunities to teach ethical and legal issuesin working with data and to teach students that not all data are free and unrestricted.Data analytics is different from other academic programs because the learning outcomes areabout developing techniques and selecting analyses; instead of instilling knowledge about asubject, the goal is to develop a skill-set
barriers to successful implementation of a liaison effort are related to personalities andeducational backgrounds of Chinese librarians. Zeng [8] summarizes the qualities required to bea liaison librarian as information literacy skills, solid background in one or more disciplines,marketing and public relations skills, ethics and life-time learning capabilities. Many Chineselibrarians chose this job because they expected to mainly handle books instead of people. Astheir personalities generally tend to be quiet, outreach- as a main requirement for a liaisonlibrarian- can be very challenging. Educational background is another issue in China. Differentfrom the United States, China offers Library and Information Science (LIS) degrees at

of acited reference in an article, conference paper, technical report or other written work is to directthe reader’s attention to information in a previously published (or unpublished) work that isrelated in some way to the author’s research. Professional and research ethics require authors tocite appropriately.Cited references in patent documents serve a different purpose. Patents are legal documents thatdefine the scope of an inventor’s intellectual property rights in a new invention or improvementon an existing technology. The World Intellectual Property Organization defines a citation as areference to another (print or online) document, oral communication, use, exhibition, or othermeans of disclosure “which may affect the patentability
