Paper ID #34701The (Augmented) World Is Our CampusMr. David S. Pixton, Brigham Young University David Pixton is a subject liaison at the Harold B. Lee Library at Brigham Young University. In this role, he is responsible for providing research training and assistance to students and faculty within the majority of engineering and technology fields offered at the university. He holds degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Library and Information Science. David’s current research is focused on improving learning in a library environment, including the use of augmented reality for educational purposes, and a pedagogical
librarianexperience and interest in acquiring knowledge, skills and abilities in data management [7]; anda willingness to innovate, take risks and experiment [8, 9]. 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
, the course, or the specific faculty member. This study aimed tounderstand the needs of engineering faculty members, especially those who had not workeddirectly with the engineering librarian for library resource instruction. The study was modeledafter a similar multi-site study conceived and organized by Ithaka S+R, a not-for-profitorganization that provides guidance and support for academic and cultural communities, thatexplored the teaching needs of business faculty members [3]. Interviews were conducted withfaculty members from the departments of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering and Industrial &Systems Engineering in the summer of 2020. This paper examines the main teaching themes thatemanated from the analysis of the interview
substantialincrease in the number of articles retracted from academic journals across a wide rangeof disciplines [5] - [7]. 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. Rubbo et al.’s paper onretractions in the engineering literature also found higher rates of retraction between2008 and 2015 than in prior decades [13]. “Publishing misconduct” is determined to bethe most common reason for retraction in Grieneisen and Zhang’s study
program and thelibrary to implement a credit-bearing, experiential learning, course focused on integratingnew technologies into the library. The poster will provide background information onboth the Vertically Integrated Project program and the course hosted by the library, detailthe current undertakings of students in the course, and discuss the future directions theproject is aiming for.Background - Vertically Integrated ProjectsThe Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) program started in the early 2000's at PurdueUniversity [8]. Since its beginnings VIP has grown into a global consortium with over 40participating universities in nearly one dozen countries [9]. VIP programs at NYUconsist of credit-bearing courses based around faculty research

(Examine) Entrieswith all capital letter acronyms were flagged and further assessed for the standard format type. All itemsdetermined to be standards were then reviewed to determine if the request was fulfilled by ILL staff byany means. [7]To replace the Scan step, Author 1 first developed a regular expression, using Python in JupyterNotebooks (code, documentation, and de-identified dataset can be found on Author 1’s GitHub:https://github.com/hburns2/desperately-seeking-standards). Regular expressions (or regex), used for textprocessing and querying, identify patterns within written text. A

Both organizations responded positively,and the details were planned out in follow-up face-to-face meetings.(Figure 1: Employee-created Interlibrary Loan Exhibit)FEBRUARY EXHIBITFor Black History Month in February, a student employee worked with members of the NSBEstudent chapter to create the exhibit, “A Celebration of Black History Month: College ofEngineering Alumni”. The posters recognized six members of the chapter who were recentgraduates. Bios for each graduate included chapter involvement, degree(s) earned, currentposition, accomplishments, and awards (Figure 2).The NSBE Chapter President sent out a call to alumni members asking for
