research questions driving this project are “What are the research supports neededby CEE researchers during the whole research lifecycle?” and “What can academic libraries do toimprove services to meet these needs?” We specifically focus on the faculty members who areconducting research in the Civil and Environmental Engineering field at a private university. Thisresearch is part of a larger series of studies coordinated by Ithaka S+R1 on the research supportneeds of scholars by discipline.This study used a grounded theory guided approach consisting of the initial and focused codingsteps. Grounded theory is defined by Corbin and Strauss [10] as “a specific methodologydeveloped by Glaser, Strauss and Strutzel [11] for the purpose of building theory

faculty onlineprofiles, are great sources for research interests, courses taught and awarded grants. Interviewing facultymembers is also a great way to learn more about faculty research and teaching needs while buildingfaculty-librarian relationships. Although course syllabi can provide a great snapshot of course informationand types of assignments and even reveal information-seeking behavior which faculty require for theirstudents, accessing course syllabi may need permission and assistance from the departments [1]. Large-scale surveys of faculty may be a great option as they can provide rich information on faculty’sperspectives.

WoS was selected because it captures affiliationinformation for each participating author, something that many other engineering databases suchas ASCE or IEEE do not provide, and it is a database to which each of the four institutionssubscribes.

Whiletextual analysis was limited in terms of results, it did provide further support for theclassification analysis based on word and phrase frequencies of the paper titles. A future studymight apply a more rigorous textual analysis methodology (and software) to obtain topichierarchies and to perform more sophisticated analyses.Further work could compare these results to other LIS publications in the field of science and Page 15.177.13engineering librarianship.References1.

Bonn, a former ESLCchair, to serve on the Engineering Information Services Committee of the Engineers JointCouncil (EJC).[22] Formed in 1952, the EJC was a federation of three dozen Americanengineering societies including ASEE. The EJC’s main purpose was to facilitate cooperationamong its members in order to address common problems.[23] It was especially interested intechnical information, libraries, and engineering education.
