We use the term bias to refer to computeralgorithms that systematically discriminate against certain content, individuals, or groupswithout a sound basis [1].As automated systems become an integral part of many decisions that affect our daily life,civil rights, and public discourse, there is concern among social scientists and computerscientists about the presence of bias in machine learning and big-data algorithms. A body ofwork has appeared in popular as well as scholarly literature addressing algorithm bias.

diversity and inclusion in one-shot information literacy classesIntroduction Many academic departments in higher educational institutions rely on their libraries tooffer Information literacy (IL) classes. Librarians typically design the content of their IL classesin consultation with the teaching faculty members. The content may include topics on avoidingplagiarism, strategies for reading a technical paper, finding relevant resources, evaluation ofinformation sources, and general library orientations [1]. These sessions can be taughtsynchronously and asynchronously. Regardless of the content and discourse platform, these ILclasses are typically one-shot classes that are forty-five to ninety minutes long. As

Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) is a Carnegie Level-1 research university locatedin University Park, PA. The College of Engineering, officially founded in 1894, offersbachelors', masters’, and doctoral degrees in ten departments. The college's average annualenrollment includes approximately 8000 undergraduates and 1600 graduate students. Enrollmentfigures for graduate students do not specify whether they are masters' or Ph.D. hopefuls.[1][2]The Library system at Penn State is one of the largest in North America, with several millionvolumes of books and materials along with several thousand journal subscriptions. TheEngineering Library works as a partner with the College to provide learning services and supportto students, faculty, and

building a new generation ofmachines, materials, and systems [1]. As a result, these challenges will require us to examinehow we not only educate engineers for the future, but also to integrate techniques from the largerfield of education so that we can apply research-informed approaches to engineering education.When we talk about a research-informed approach in the context of this work, we are discussingthe method of engaging in interactional ethnography as a logic of inquiry, and as a method forinforming curricular based decisions [2]. Many engineering and science curricula focusprimarily on students developing the technical skills required for their careers post-graduation.This focus on technical skills often comes at the cost of the

50 years, this “trademark ofour campus” [1] had a few different homes on campus, finally ending up as a display on thescience floor of the main library. In 2018, a librarian began considering how to refresh the agingexhibit, and later that year found his answer from two engineering students. These studentsproposed using augmented reality (AR) to create a richer and more engaging and educationalexperience for patrons. AR would allow patrons to appreciate the unique informational andartistic qualities of the globe itself, while expanding the experience to include further visual andaudible content that are not physically part of the globe. These “augmentations” can be made toappear as part of the exhibit when viewing the exhibit through

this movement meant encouraging faculty on a large scaleto adopt, adapt, and create OER. Peter Reed noted in his 2012 study, “Awareness, Attitudes andParticipation of Teaching Staff towards the Open Content Movement in One University,” thatteaching faculty are open to sharing their work, but “they are not doing so to any large-scaledegree, that is, through specific OER repositories and open licensing.” 1 The challenge ofencouraging faculty to understand and incorporate OER can often derive from their unfamiliaritywith terms and policies related to copyright. 2 3 These concerns are compounded by facultyquestions regarding OER content quality and the peer review process. 3 However, these issues canbe mitigated by informational courses offered by

United States (U.S.) a Professional Engineer (PE) is licensed by the state in which theypractice. The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) wascreated in 1920 to advance licensure and facilitate mobility among the licensing jurisdictions [1].Engineering schools teach their students that those that enter the engineering profession areaccountable for the lives affected by their work and engineers must hold themselves to highethical standard of practice [2]. Students are taught that protection of public health and theenvironment is an engineer’s professional responsibility [3]. However, not all engineers take theextra effort to obtain and maintain a professional engineering license. Only about 25 percent ofall

Theintegration of computers into libraries for both public use and library staff lead tomachine-readable library records, the addition of electronic resources to librariescollection, and new services such as printing, scanning and computer training workshops.By the end of the 20th century the internet would revolutionize how libraries interactedwith their patrons. Today, there are a number of technologies libraries have beenexperimenting with including artificial intelligence, 3D Printing, the internet of things(IoT), and augmented and virtual reality [1]–[4]. In particular augmented reality (AR) isan exciting technology that has begun to be integrated by libraries recently. Librarieshave used AR technology in information

Understanding patrons' needs for these items would beinformative for collection management. However, collection management decisions are often informed byanalyses that are better suited to more commonly collected and used items, such as monographs andjournal articles. These analyses may compare the use of existing collections to patron requests foradditional similar materials [2], and

. 1Literature reviewIn recent years, academic libraries have reported a major shift in focus towardsscholarly communications and research management services [1]. Craft and Harlow [2]observed increased requests from graduate students for scholarly communicationstraining in a variety of topics, with the top choices being “publishing tips” and“post-dissertation publishing” [3]. This demand for training reflects the need amongstudents for guidance in navigating the publication process. Many doctoral programs,especially in the sciences and engineering, require students to publish in order tograduate. As relative novices in the complicated, often opaque arena of academicpublishing, many of these students struggle with the task and would benefit fromguidance

Theprogram has grown rapidly, serving more than 500 first year engineering students in fall 2019with positive outcomes including high perceived value by students, high participation rates, andfaculty noting improvement in the quality of students’ research. When the COVID-19 pandemicforced Northeastern University to adopt a hybrid learning model, the team redesigned theworkshop for remote delivery with the goal of maintaining high participation rates and positivestudent outcomes.This paper (1

globalization. Standards are the reason that a plug fits into the wall, a firehose fits all fire hydrants, and why all USB’s work in different computers and more. A standardis a collectively agreed upon set of rules, regulations, requirements, measurements, or technicalspecifications that are published by an organization [1]. They are published by national standardbodies that provide the means for writing and disseminating new standards. Table 1 shows a listof frequently accessed standards organizations and their commonly used acronyms. Due to a lackof peer-reviewed articles on the subject on accessing standards, the authors felt that conducting asurvey of Association of Research Libraries (ARL) would prove useful to analyze standardsacquisitions and
