collectiondevelopment goals will be to grow our electronic collections.The New Science and Engineering Building Our university is a new campus, relative to many universities in the state. However, it isgrowing rapidly, especially in the sciences. In the last five years, our university opened twomulti-disciplinary science and engineering buildings. The newest building, the AppliedEngineering and Technology Building, opened for occupancy in Fall 2009 and officially inSpring 2010; our library opened few months later, in May. In the original plans for the building, a laboratory space was built where our library isnow. The architects and builders outfitted the room with various lab specifications, including aneye-wash station, a multitude of power

Current research focuses primarily on flipping in specific settings; such as coursesize, course topic, technology used or type of student population.

are tackling the outrageous costs of textbooks and class supplies by promoting theadoption, adaption, and creation of Open Educational Resources (OER). OER are freelyaccessible learning materials for students to use and can be licensed for instructors to modify andredistribute. OER development in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)disciplines has primarily been focused on large enrollment introductory courses such asIntroduction to Mechanical Engineering or Introduction to Physics. A common complaint amongMines faculty is the lack of existing OER to support high-level courses or niche subject areas,such as groundwater engineering or advanced manufacturing. Recognizing the need forhigh-quality OER across the curriculum, the

Agriculture, Engineering, and Science & Technology are routed exclusively to the SciTech Desk, while the Arts & Humanities, Business, Education, and Social Sciences are routed exclusively to the Business, Humanities, and Social Science Desk. The General category of questions is routed to both desks and can be picked up by anyone. If for some reason one of the desks is shut down, there is an override log in which allows the person staffing the lone desk to pick up all chats regardless of subject area. For the normal operating routine, this division of online questions according to subject area has enabled
