The school has a faculty of more than 40 tenure-track professors and enrollment ofmore than 1,300 graduate and undergraduate students. There are nearly 20 labs and researchgroups housed within the school.Selected Literature ReviewResearch libraries have provided data management services for over a decade. Many suchservices continue to provide value and to make an impact in their respective researchcommunities. In order to improve data services for research communities, librarians haveconstantly sought

Additionally, as a means of increasing library impact on campus, it hasbeen recommended that libraries increase support to high-impact practices [7], [8].BackgroundNorth Carolina State University (NC State), a land-grant university with a student enrollment ofapproximately 36,000

) information for future space studyresearchers to use.Literature Review The focus of most studies on University spaces has been based on the studentengagement framework to explore the role of various study spaces on the university campus (e.g.[1], [2], [3], [4], [13]). Riddle and Souter [5] argued that current practices in designing studentstudy spaces ignore students’ perspectives and reproduce environments that are familiar but lesssuitable for active peer learning and learning supported by technologies that students prefer.Although many researchers have attempted to find the students’ perspectives through varioussurvey instruments, not many have used ethnographic surveys. A study by Harrop and Turpin[3], explored learners’ with photographic

librarians looking toform cross-disciplinary partnerships.While engineering and business students have different information needs, topics such as patents,manufacturing standards, and industry research are relevant to both areas. Collaboration betweenthe librarians serving these programs is important to best support users. Yet at large universities,these librarians might be working on different teams and even in different buildings. Such wasthe case at one university, where the engineering librarian and the business librarian, and theirrespective collections, were for many years based in libraries on opposite sides of campus.In 2016, a newly hired business librarian was placed in an office in the campus STEM libraryand the engineering librarian was

themselves to highethical standards of practice. Engineering students learn about professionalism through theiruniversity course work and from other engineers [2]. Students learn that an engineer’sprofessional responsibilities include protection of the public and the environment. Students needan understanding of the potential risks resulting from their work. Public safety andenvironmental protection must be at the forefront of their engineering work [3].The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) is a non-governmentalorganization that accredits post-secondary education programs. ABET accreditation is proof thata collegiate program meets standards essential for producing graduates ready to enter theengineering workforce [4

A survey of patients participating in a clinical trial revealed 85 %of the majority perceived the benefits of sharing de-identified data outweigh any negatives [5].There remains an ongoing debate regarding best practices, merits, challenges and approaches onseeking consent to data sharing [6] – [9].Despite research indicating benefits of sharing data, some researchers are unwilling to reportscientific findings. An investigation of 1329 researchers’ data practices indicates scientists do notmake their research data electronically available to other researchers [10].
