andestablished as a national committee in 1942, ELD achieved divisional status within ASEE in1967. This year, 2017, marks the 50th anniversary of ELD’s division status and the 75thanniversary of the first Engineering School Libraries Committee. This paper explores the historyof ELD from 1960 to the present. The author’s preceding paper, published in 2016, covered thehistory of librarians in ASEE from 1893 through the 1950s.[1]The history of ELD over the past fifty years has been marked by three major themes or trends.The first trend is rapid and continuous technological change, beginning in the late 1950s, that hastransformed how scientific and technical information is created, disseminated, stored, andretrieved. The 1970s and 1980s was a time of rapid

Out-of-school, informal learning can occur at a variety of sites,including everyday experiences; designed sites such as museums, nature preserves, and libraries;and structured programs such as after-school activities and summer camps [2]. This paperdescribes the programming provided at one academic library to a STEM summer camp formiddle schoolers [3] and explores the opportunities and challenges of this kind of programmingin an academic library.STEM

The goalof this ongoing project is to provide opportunities for students to engage in short, thoughtfulexperiences with IL at strategic points throughout their time as undergraduates. To accomplishthis, the following steps were taken: (1) Syllabi from 300 courses were analyzed to determinepotential for compatibility with IL instruction, (2) sequences of required courses for each of the10 undergraduate engineering programs were visualized to facilitate scaffolding of ILinstruction, (3) a list of discrete IL concepts and skills were derived from the ACRL Framework,(4) assignments were

Do systematic reviews see greater use than other types of papers?We also examine the librarian’s role in systematic reviews, so engineering librarians can beprepared to negotiate levels of responsibility and acknowledgement of their contributions.Literature ReviewSystematic reviews seek “to systematically search for, appraise and synthesis research evidence,often adhering to guidelines on the

As a recent ASEE Prism [1] article noted, “the growth curve coincides with anational push for STEM education by policymakers at all levels.
