Thewise librarian understands that the moniker of “subject expert” is not a destination, but an epicjourney that uncovers new challenges and further learning at each turn along the road. Neither isthe journey a solo venture; instead, the most satisfying aspect of the trek is often found in theinteresting, creative, inventive people that the engineering librarian has the opportunity to workwith and serve. In the end, the librarian who chooses to take the plunge into the unfamiliar andperhaps scary waters of engineering librarianship finds a sense of gratitude for making the bestcareer decision possible.References[1] N.

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.

introduction of GIS into the Civil Engineering curricula. 7 In theirarticle, Luna et al. describe their project which was developed to teach students the use of GIS to“reinforce basic concepts taught throughout the curriculum in a comprehensive manner.” 8 Bothhe and Miles acknowledge the recognition of GIS as a beneficial technology in their field ofCivil Engineering. Miles gives several case studies in which GIS has been used as a tool formodeling in Civil Engineering, but also cautions against the potential for misuse in itsapplication.The literature in librarianship is replete with articles discussing libraries’ shifting services andprograms in response to clients’ demands, including that of providing GIS services. 9 Boissedescribes the

Foremost, the subscription costsof science, technology, engineering and medicine (STEM) journals and databases hadreached an unsustainable level, with the annual inflation rate being much higher than inother disciplines [1]. Moreover, the number of publications supporting traditionalengineering disciplines and new and/or interdisciplinary research is on the rise.Furthermore, the overall expansion of digital content availability lead to an

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

Current research focuses primarily on flipping in specific settings; such as coursesize, course topic, technology used or type of student population. Some authors focus on thetechnology used to implement the flip, such as Carroll, Tchangalova and Harrington’s [12]description of
