The challenge of the projectwas that there are thousands of records with erroneous or missing metadata, making it difficult tomanually check Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and ISSN.

ways to deliver information literacyinstruction to engineering students. However, there are only a few examples of using a realworld situation or problem to introduce information literacy skills to students. Macklin describes a method for teaching information literacy using problem-basedlearning.1 He explains that this “… teaching strategy takes everyday situations and createslearning opportunities from them.” Snavely writes that, “Librarians collaborate with instructorsto set up problems and questions so students will participate in their own discovery andlearning.”2 Kesselman and Sherman helped to develop an interdisciplinary course with facultyfrom Communication, the library school, and Food Manufacturing Technology.3 Studentsworked

A Research Data Interest Group (RDIG) was initiated in 2015by an Engineering and Informatics Librarian and a Sciences Instruction Librarian to support thedevelopment of the Libraries’ research data services. The RDIG included librarians and campuspartners from Information Technology Services, the Iowa Informatics Initiative, the Division ofSponsored Programs, and other stakeholders. The RDIG facilitated communication aboutresearch data management topics, and attempted to raise institutional awareness of datamanagement needs and opportunities by hosting several seminars and workshops, andadvocating for the creation of a Data Services Librarian position in the Libraries in 2017.The Data Services Librarian has led efforts to build research
Engineering, written initially without the experience ofdata collection for assessment, draw on both the ACRL information literacy standards for highereducation (referred to below simply as ACRL) as well as the information literacy standards forscience and technology (ILST8). Because the Engineering standards were written at the level ofthe performance indicators provided in the two sets of standards, they are therefore written at ahighly detailed level9. However, ABET outcomes assessment occurs at a broader level, in whichany number of detailed abilities may be brought as evidence of achievement of a single broaderoutcome. We agreed that the ABET outcomes were fairly analogous to the five ACRL standards
, mechanicalengineering, systems engineering, engineering technology, and construction management fromthe William States Lee College of Engineering (COE).In all of COE’s undergraduate programs, formal library instruction is generally limited to anoptional workshop that first-year students may attend for extra credit. Approximately 78% ofeligible students participate in this workshop during which they receive a basic introduction tolibrary resources in the context of an assignment focused on career planning. In addition to thisannual workshop, interested professors may contact the engineering librarian directly to requestlibrary instruction sessions. These individual requests from professors, which generate a fewsessions each semester, are usually spurred by

Thus, asengineering is an information-intensive domain, many of the new engineering competencies asrequired by accreditation boards for engineering programs, such as Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) 2 and the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board(CEAB)3, have challenged the existing, traditional, educational lecture-based approaches byintroducing more courses that are designed as project-based learning courses in engineeringprograms within specific expected graduating attributes. The transition from strictly traditionalapproaches in engineering education represents significant opportunities for change
