Out-of-school, informal learning can occur at a variety of sites,including everyday experiences; designed sites such as museums, nature preserves, and libraries;and structured programs such as after-school activities and summer camps [2]. This paperdescribes the programming provided at one academic library to a STEM summer camp formiddle schoolers [3] and explores the opportunities and challenges of this kind of programmingin an academic library.STEM

spring 2015 outreach to middleschool students. This annual outreach initiative introduces budding scientists to engineeringthrough tours of campus labs, exposure to new technologies, and engaging workshops. The UFSWE chapter aims to introduce these crucial engineering technologies at a young age (especiallyto girls), and spark interest in these areas to help them consider engineering as a possible careerpath. The library workshops introduced students to the entire 3D design cycle from modeling toproduction, and concluded by printing a model that they designed. The librarians and SWErepresentatives co-taught a basic design program, Tinkercad, along with providing design adviceand a primer about 3D printing technology. The workshop was based upon

To help increase participation of women in engineering, we discuss ten ways academiclibraries can assist engineering departments to increase enrollment and retention of womenengineering students. These practices have been implemented during the past two years in thelibrary programs at UF. 1. Coordinate an engineering speakers series featuring women scientists and engineers; 2. Sponsor a girls technology summer camp where women engineering students help teach middle school girls; 3. Hold a human library book event showcasing women engineering contributions; 4.

Developing a search strategy was a complexprocess that required balancing the need to be as comprehensive as possible with limitingthe noise inherent in a search that includes such wide reaching terminology such as“education” “undergraduate engineering” and “information seeking”. Information wascollected on population, demographics, country of origin, sample size, engineeringdiscipline, communications, experiences, theories, models, and dates.SearchA comprehensive search strategy was built for each database by a practicing engineeringand instructional design

For over a year, studentsand faculty had to adjust to new locations for collections, course reserves, and services. A strategy within our Science & Engineering division has been to move away from thetraditional role of subject librarians and towards a team approach. Four vacancies werereconfigured to support this change: Research Services Coordinator, Collection Assessment andAnalysis Librarian, Emerging Technologies Coordinator, and Digital Science Librarian.

touse different software products other than Lab Archives alludes to the possibility thatadoption of software to organize research is possible. As the librarian who is a liaison toall of the sciences and engineering, perhaps a single lab notebook solution will not bethe answer to accommodate the different fields and different types of researchconducted on campus, whether bench research or computational research or otherwise.Investing in multiple software products is an option for the Library, however it is not aneconomically sound tactic. The Librarian should remain alert to the different researchneeds and continue to be cognizant of new software and technologies that have beendeveloped to meet researcher needs.Acknowledgement: Matthew Sumner
