acrossinstitutions and with industry partners, these collaborations are not without their challenges. Oneresearcher at U of T discussed how government partners have very high expectations about thedeliverables that will result from the research partnership. While the expectation in academia isoften to publish research, the expectation in industry is typically to implement this research intoactionable plans. This dichotomy can lead to a disconnect with industry partners in terms oftimelines, aims, and research outcomes. Interviewees also noted that collaborating with partnersoutside academia can be a challenge in terms of gathering and sharing data. Both industry andacademia have a strong focus on protecting anonymity, which can make it challenging

Others who only use third party data associate data management more with dataprocessing, such as how to more efficiently manipulate data.Several researchers rely on their students to manage data for ongoing projects. Some mentionedthat they had problems because of this practice. For example, one researcher said: “Students’ datamanagement plan is “ad hoc”, such as they don’t document their codes.” and another researchermentioned: “We’ve actually had two graduate student laptop failures that have caused someproblems.”Some interviewees mention that they have a lab

In non-engineering disciplines, librarianshave incorporated rights instruction into introductory music courses and mass communicationscourses [15], developed lesson plans for English and communications courses that use problem-solving scenarios supported by analysis and lecture [16], and taught a semester-length courseabout copyright to journalism and communications majors [17].

The author takes this philosophy further, and says: “Students should learn using a discovery approach.” Clifford O. Young, Sr., & Laura Howzell Young of California State University, SanBernardino argue that a new paradigm for assessment, a learning paradigm, must be constructedto measure the success of new kinds of educational practices (Young and Young, 1999). 1.

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.

From a collections standpoint, a “no purchase” policy fortextbooks makes sense because they may go out of date as new editions are published. Severalstudies found that the time between the original publication of a textbook and its new editionaveraged only 3 to 3.8 years and frequently, the faculty did not see any significant changes to thecontent.5,6Recently, several university libraries have created textbook collections as part of their coursereserves program.9,10,11 In 2009, the Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City Libraryrecognized the students’ needs for textbooks and began planning a program to place
