profile the first time theymake an ILL request, and selecting a department is part of that one-time form. NO DEPThappens to be the first entry in a long dropdown box, so users who are in a hurry to get theirrequest filled out may just select the first categorization and move on. There is no validation codeset up to certify that the departmental choice was indeed correct, such as checking against thepatron’s username or email they used to log in to ILLiad. Compounding the issue, unless thepatron takes it upon themselves to go back into their user profile and correct the departmentalselection, subsequent requests during their collegiate career will continue to be categorized in theNO DEPT classification, further skewing the data. It should be clear

increased engagement with the material, students oftenselect research topics based not on interest, but rather on the availability of information1.The Introductory Engineering CourseIntroduction to the Engineering Profession (EGS 1006L) is a one-credit course offered tostudents entering the engineering curriculum at FGCU. When this course was first created, it wasdone so within a brand new school of engineering. As such, “Introduction to the EngineeringProfession” was originally developed to provide an overview of the engineering programs atFGCU, and encourage students to consider engineering as a potential career choice. In Fall 2014,the course was revised to provide a more cohesive, meaningful first year experience that tied intothe pedagogical

As the goal of this study was to lookholistically at research interests and scholarly outputs over entire faculty members’ entireacademic careers, the authors of this study included all available indexes, date ranges, andpublication types available from WoS for faculty publications for inclusion within this study’s datacollection. Therefore, faculty publications were not limited to the time periods in which they areemployed at their current institution. As a cut-off date for inclusion in this study, the authors onlyincluded faculty publications that were published before December 31, 2019.In order to disambiguate common author name searches

multiple times in their academic careers. Certainly, LibGuides are a frequently usedmethod of making information about information available to students.ConclusionHopefully, this study will shine the light on the need for librarians to share best practices forengaging with their faculty in engineering technology departments to improve the integration ofIL into the 3.g outcome and beyond. Engineering technology programs also would benefit fromsharing their practices with their institution’s librarians. Based on the results of this paper,librarians are an untapped resource when it comes to contributing to the assessment of students’‘identify and use appropriate technical literature,’ for accreditation purposes. Librarians could bedeveloping rubrics

Additionally, Croslandwas co-editor of the April 1954 issue of Library Trends (Box 1, Series 1).ConclusionCrosland devoted 46 years of her career to help establish and develop an outstanding library withan excellent science and technology collection, providing high quality service to Georgia Techstudents and faculty. In her final 1970-1971 annual report, Crosland stated “I leave behind twomagnificent buildings, one of the finest collections in

and potential collaborationbetween engineering librarians and mechanical engineering faculty. For the course in this study,the plan for next year will be to use these instructional activities again. It also has started thediscussion of where additional library collaboration earlier in the mechanical engineeringprogram would be appropriate and beneficial. This additional exposure and training will buildfamiliarity with information fluency skills, which may be perceived as difficult, but are essentialin the professional environment.Works Cited[1] G.

information literacy competency requirements The recently revised Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board’s accreditation criteria6have higher expectations of information research skills for undergraduate engineering graduatesthan ever before. 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. IL training may help this group of studentsbecome better empowered to use information effectively, which has the potential to contribute totheir overall academic and career success.Role of undergraduate
