support to continue to beembedded in specialized fields such as engineering, especially as the institutions expands andgrows programs.Conclusion(s)A new subject liaison can learn a good deal about collection development by reading seminalworks such as the book edited by Conkling and Messer. The article by Brin [8] is particularlyuseful for libraries such as DSU’s, given that it focuses on medium-sized libraries buildingcollections to support new programs. However, these often assume at least a basic level ofknowledge of the discipline on the part of the liaison and a generous level of funding. The DSUlibrary’s experience was different and may help others in similar circumstances. The library deanand subject liaison successfully worked with

first year of graduate school, most students are asked to do a literature searchfor a class, or are beginning to look at prior work as they decide on a focus for their thesis,dissertation, or Master‟s project. At that point, they realize that they will not be able to findeverything they need with their current set of Web-searching tools and skills.Engineering librarians are challenged to engage with these new students at just the right time.Properly marketed, online tutorials may provide part of the solution. This paper explores how theauthor used citation analysis and discussions with faculty, students, and colleagues to design aset of tutorials that teach graduate students both how to find what they need, and why they needit in the first

Civil and Environmental Engineering Researchers at Two Canadian UniversitiesIntroductionIn the fall of 2017 and winter of 2018, librarians from the University of Toronto (U of T) andUniversity of Waterloo (Waterloo) interviewed civil and environmental engineering researchersat their respective institutions to learn about their research practices and needs [1], [2]. All of theresearchers interviewed are tenured or tenure stream faculty with the title of Assistant, Associate,or full Professor. The interviewees will be referred to as “researchers” for the most partthroughout this paper because that is the preferred term in the contexts described.

On an interpersonal level, it requiresdeveloping and sustaining trusted relationships between the data or liaison/subject librarian(s)and researchers [9]. At the organizational level, the support of library administration andinstitutional prioritization of data services are critical factors [8].The depth and duration of these interactions with researchers may range from shorter-term“project-based” interactions [9], to “deep dives” into the data practices of an individual or team[10, 11], to long-term, “program-based” relationship-building and collaborations with a programor department [7].Some

While the major cross-disciplinary studies of the increasingretraction phenomenon were conducted between eight and ten years ago, there havebeen more recent studies that have investigated retractions in the medical [8-10] anddental [11] fields, and investigations into scientific studies conducted in China [12] thathave found higher rates of retraction than in previous decades.
