, lack of tolerance, and censorship among academic and publiclibrarians despite the Library Bill of Rights, which was created to guide collection developmentpractices. Harmayer’s study focused on the librarians’ preference of collections related to pro-choice over those representing pro-life. Quinn (2012) has addressed both the psychological andphilosophical reasons for bias. The latter is related to librarian’s commitment to an ethical codewhereas the former can be both conscious and unconscious. The banning and challenging ofbooks and media has also been an act of censorship whereby works on controversial topics areplaced on a list. Implicit behind this explicit and consciously biased selection of books is thecovert bias against target

databases tomaximize relevancy describe specific reasons for choosing the resource based on their researchtopics. One more student who chose Academic Search Premier explained why: “This, for mytopic, worked best. Web of Science is also a great choice and was helpful, but I needed lesstechnical articles. I was looking more for the ethical and social base for my argument, so thebroader view in EBSCO gave me good results.” Although this student chose a general rather thana specialized database for robotics research, she had a clear reason for doing so.

than those in computer science (128 vs 40titles), with many of these titles covering topics leaning towards the “humanistic” side oftechnology, such as history, education, ethics, and business. While these may notnecessarily be considered engineering titles, the topics are extremely valuable toengineering education in general and are not very well represented in our collections.Another benefit we identified is that many of the used titles were provided by publishersthat we do not regularly consider for acquisitions, such as Trans Tech Publications, WorldScientific, Nova Science Publishers, and Smithers Rapra. Despite the fact that this 8EBSCO content is

manuscript, there were benefits for theinstructors as well. The instructors learned new material from each other as the courseprogressed making it easier to teach the next time with another instructor or subject. An addedbenefit for this team approach was the creation of a network of guests and participants willing toadvocate for a RDM course across campus. Our students, in their post-assessment, mentionedthey would like to learn more about ethical aspects of data management. With the guest speakerapproach and knowing whom to approach on campus, we will be able to include ethicaltreatment of data in future classes. Thus, there is a need to communicate with all stakeholdersand bring units together to keep the overall mission whole rather than each

We also recommendthat discoverability of standards in our collection should be improved through catalogingimprovements and creation of finding aids for different audiences.IntroductionWhen designing something for human use, there is often a free-wheeling, creative phase that isunbounded by reality. However, at some point in the implementation of the design, constraintsbecome a part of the creator(s) process, whether it be the laws of physics, available materials, oran agreed-upon convention, ethical limit, or rule.

If the feedback is intended to be used fora research paper or study, ethics approval will be required to harvest the information withinBrightspace.Possibilities for Further Course Development  Perform ongoing maintenance and solicit regular feedback  Design assessment tools such as mini quizzes  Create additional training videos
