present on these topics andfacilitate discussions about best practices and resources. These presentations offered an informalsetting in which instructional materials and examples could be developed, and became the basisfor a one-credit graduate-level Research Data Management course for ISRP trainees.The proposal was accepted for funding by NIEHS for 2020-2025, starting in April of 2020, withboth librarians funded at 10% of their time. There are a range of aims for the DMAC related todata management and sharing that span the five years of this grant. Outlined below are some ofour activities during the first year.OutcomesResearch Data Management CourseA one-credit graduate-level course called Research Data Management Seminar was offeredthrough the

Ratio scores for example FE Subject Matter Report.From the graph in Figure 2, we see that the mechanical engineering students at the exampleinstitution did the best in probability and statistics (ratio score of 1.12 and scaled score of 0.39)compared to all other students taking the exam. Conversely, the same students did the worst inmechanical design and analysis (ratio score of 0.93 and scaled score of -0.24). Comparison ofthese ratio scores over multiple tests and years facilitates the determination of long-term trends.The results

We are also working to pilot an additional program with the2021 Summer Undergraduate Research participants to explore how building electronic researchportfolios may reinforce professional development. Lastly, our work with undergraduatesindicates that many graduate students may be entering Masters and PhD programs lacking in avariety of research and professional skills. We are currently working with members of theengineering faculty to transition some of our workshops towards graduate students, with the hopeof designing a multiyear study on the impact of professional skill development on graduatestudent

regarding the challenges andopportunities for academic librarians in a post-COVID environment.Considering the swift switch to virtual learning, many researchers have also begun to examinehow COVID-19 has impacted teaching, with more scholarship being published every month.Crawford, et al. took a global approach and studied the “first wave” of responses from highereducation institutions internationally by reviewing information from government sources andmajor media outlets such as CNN [17]. Bao took a case study approach from Peking Universityto look at online educational practices [18]. The paper intended to provide colleagues from otheruniversities with instructional strategies that could be implemented at their own institutions.Karalis and Raikou

session. There are opportunities for continuedinteraction with students during reference and research consultation services. Librarians whoparticipate in student clubs, research expos, or practice embedded librarianship are able to buildmeaningful connections with students to provide research and academic support. Therefore, ILcurricula should be carefully and frequently evaluated for excessive materials. Librarians shouldrefrain from the urge to teach everything in a single session. Instead, they should consider theapproach to ‘microlearning’ or bite-sized learning. This approach to microlearning is a part ofthreshold concepts, which are the basis for ACRL framework [1]. Threshold concepts “are thoseideas in any discipline that are passageways

potential to be deployed to millions of people.Given that level of penetration that computer algorithms have into people’s private decisionmaking processes, training our undergraduate students in ethics pertaining to algorithmsbecomes a necessity, much like medical ethics are required of medical students. Computersystems may have bias in their operation. Our students need to have an understanding of howbias enters these sophisticated software applications and how to prevent it.We researched algorithm bias education of computer science students because we wanted todevelop a module on bias awareness and assessment for our students. Our aim is to help studentsin their college coursework, and, later, as practicing computer programmers, to create
