information sources.The aim of this study was to make library resource instruction an integral portion of a requiredundergraduate engineering communication class to determine if this targeted instructionimproved students' understanding of alternative information sources. Specifically, this studyintegrated standards and the ASTM Compass database into the course through 1) case studyassignments, 2) targeted instruction by the engineering librarian, and 3) the integration ofstandards as information and research sources into both.The authors presented students in select class sections with a case study lesson dependent onstandards. Students were then visited by the Engineering Librarian on two occasions; bothsessions were tied directly to the assignment

to helpfoster a culture of awareness around caring for the environment and contemplative practices.With the support of an internal grant, the library was able to create a small, dedicated meditationspace and offer mindfulness programming in the mediation space including classes in MBSR,breathwork, and meditations for stress and anxiety. First-year engineering students wereencouraged to attend via a passport incentive program all three years.Environmental Programming Environmental movie nights were implemented in the Fall 2017 semester. Moviesselected directly related to the curriculum for first-year engineering students. For example, TheIsland President was selected as the first movie night as it is a suggested film for Copenhagen2009

was carefully designed to help first-year students achieve success in the programregardless of the specific engineering major they select in their second year. Therefore, thecourse includes themes centered on several design-and-build projects with the following programobjectives: 1. Provide students with the opportunity to experience engineering as an evolving, creative, and interdisciplinary career that impacts global society and daily life. 2. Provide students with the opportunity to develop process-driven problem-solving skills that recognize multiple alternatives and apply critical thinking to identify an effective solution. 3. Provide students with the opportunity to integrate math & science in an engineering context. 4

paper discusses how students usepersonal and public spaces in their departments, the library, and what they deem as necessities tocomplete their “home away from home” on-campus experience. The photos and gps databasewill be added to the library repository collection for future researchers to use.Introduction The Texas A&M University (TAMU) Libraries are an important hub for students’studying needs. However, have we optimized or enhanced the spaces for optimal student usageand occupancy? Can we assume that technology, operating hours, location on campus, services,and furniture determine the usability of the spaces? Over the past decades, the TAMU Librarieshave renovated spaces as a reaction to safety, ADA, energy consumption, and

curriculum changes inengineering programs[10]. Despite all of this, I found it challenging to find papers documentingsuccessful interventions based on these changes.Colleges and universities are increasingly turning to the development of an inclusive culture byapplying frameworks like Inclusive Excellence, a model of diversity and inclusion that“anticipates critical appraisal and recognizes historical and contemporary challenges [11].” Thisframework, when adopted across an institution allows for more collective action. At Universityof Arizona Libraries, their Diversity, Social Justice and Equity Council (DSJEC) was created toalign with the institution’s priorities based on an Inclusive Excellence Model [11, p. 67].In approaching this work, I looked

Fosmire [2] have made the argument that informationliteracy can be integrated into a number of student outcomes. However, the engineeringtechnology (ETAC) student outcomes changed around 2011 by explicitly mentioninginformation skills, extending the old 3.g, “ability to communicate effectively,” [3] to 3.g, “anability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technicalenvironments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.” [4]With this change to the student outcomes in engineering technology, there is the potential fornew opportunities for collaboration between librarians and those programs. While the work oflibrarians in EAC programs has been well documented, for example, at every

students represented 50%of Master's students and 78% of PhD students [2].For many years now, the need for enhancing information literacy (IL) training in universities hasbeen well documented. It has been nearly 20 years since Polytechnique Montréal introduced inits academic curriculum a mandatory and credited IL course for graduate students. This coursewas created and updated with guidance from the Association of College & Research Library(ACRL), most notably the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education [3]and the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education [4].The main objectives of this paper are to describe the evolution of the course and to discuss thefactors that have contributed to its success.
