Typically the first20 minutes cover the class guide, Figure 2, project scope, Knovel or Engnetbase, and Compendex. For example, if the topic is lubrication and the team had only narrowed down the topic to any type of synthetic lubricant, then the first step would be for the librarian to ask about which brand or formulation was being considered

There are three types of metadata or documentation: descriptive metadata(often connected with a specific subject schema), structural metadata (expressing relationships toother files), and administrative metadata (including rights and environmental information). Thesemetadata elements are particularly important for data deposited in institutional or disciplinaryrepositories.STORAGE AND BACKUPOur instruction focuses on recommendations regarding number and locations of data copies;schedules for backup; and the robustness and efficacy of storage solutions. We demonstrate the3-2-1 rule which prescribes: 3 copies of the data; 2 kinds of media; and placing 1 copy in aremote location. Also

andestablished as a national committee in 1942, ELD achieved divisional status within ASEE in1967. This year, 2017, marks the 50th anniversary of ELD’s division status and the 75thanniversary of the first Engineering School Libraries Committee. This paper explores the historyof ELD from 1960 to the present. The author’s preceding paper, published in 2016, covered thehistory of librarians in ASEE from 1893 through the 1950s.[1]The history of ELD over the past fifty years has been marked by three major themes or trends.The first trend is rapid and continuous technological change, beginning in the late 1950s, that hastransformed how scientific and technical information is created, disseminated, stored, andretrieved. The 1970s and 1980s was a time of rapid

science and engineering in a variety of contexts, both in and out of school.Participation in informal science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities,along with interest in STEM subjects, is associated with interest in STEM careers when studentsreach the university level [1]. 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

byproviding instruction and activities on the left-hand of the screen 1. Recognizing that not allexisting video tutorials were often used, we saw the necessity of conducting a usability study ondifferent tutorial formats: video tutorials versus Guide-on-the-Side tutorials. This usability studyhad two purposes. One was to determine the effectiveness of tutorials and which tutorial formatwas more effective. The other was to discover the students’ preference for which tutorial format.In addition, the captured qualitative information on the database search process from this studywould help us better understand students’ database search behavior.Literature ReviewOnline tutorials including text-and-image and video are commonly used to provide

In response to this statement by the associatedstudents, the Provost’s Office established a task force, which evolved into a steering committeethat recommended, among other things, the increased use of open education resources (OERs) oncampus2.Washington State University is not alone in its recent interest in open educational resources.Open education has been a rising trend throughout the 2000s, since the phrase was coined by theUnited Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 20023. Asdefined by UNESCO, OERs are “teaching, learning or research materials that are in the publicdomain or released with an intellectual property license

Three agencies, the Department of Defense, NASA and AEC, thatproduced an estimated 90% of the government’s unclassified technical reports at the time, hadagreed to provide copies of their reports for deposits in each of the centers. The Georgia TechLibrary served the southeast region, which included Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi,South Carolina, and Tennessee (Georgia Tech Library Notes, 1962, v.5 n.6 p.1).From time to time, Crosland spent considerable effort to write to or to visit in person UnitedStates Senators and other officials regarding specific government publications and successfullysecured many documents from various agencies.

Literacy for Higher Education, was designed in conjunction with the creation of acurriculum map covering all of the College of Engineering’s undergraduate programs. The goalof this ongoing project is to provide opportunities for students to engage in short, thoughtfulexperiences with IL at strategic points throughout their time as undergraduates. To accomplishthis, the following steps were taken: (1) Syllabi from 300 courses were analyzed to determinepotential for compatibility with IL instruction, (2) sequences of required courses for each of the10 undergraduate engineering programs were visualized to facilitate scaffolding of ILinstruction, (3) a list of discrete IL concepts and skills were derived from the ACRL Framework,(4) assignments were

(CET)Department of Technology Systems approached the University’s main campus library with aninitiative to make 3D printing more accessible to the campus community. The partnership cameto fruition in the fall of 2014 when a ZPrinter® 310 Plus36, an entry-level, powder based300x450 dpi resolution 3D printer, was placed in a converted study room (see Figure 1), andlibrary personnel were trained on the system.7,30,31 The technology sat largely unused because ofthe ZPrinter’s high operating costs (approximately $4/cu in to print), but, a year later, the Libraryfelt providing greater access to 3D printing technology for the campus community would be avalue added service worth a small, additional investment. In July 2015, the library expanded its3D

Several articles employing a usage statisticsapproach stated that they wanted to further their assessment of individual consultations. Numerousauthors that implemented a survey method to survey their users described the value of the feedbackto improve their service. However, they emphasized the subjective nature of this approach ofassessment and stated that objective assessment methods would provide a better understanding ofthe impact of individualized research consultations. The few articles utilizing objectivequantitative methods obtained mixed results. Overall, they concluded that additional research wasneeded in the assessment of individualized research

The library’s newly renovated room includes tinkering stations with access to differenttechnologies and tools and areas for collaborative work, featuring whiteboards and quadmonitors. This room is a place for students, faculty, and staff to turn their ideas into reality and toget hands-on experience.In addition, the Tool Library, located inside the engineering library, was
