: collaborating in teams, learning about the broad social contextand implications of engineering projects, and practicing habits of mind that lead to lifelonglearning. As students critically reflect on their information-seeking behaviour, they are self-evaluating and re-directing their personal learning experience and expanding their awareness ofwhat comprises a salient and valid information source.

They revised it and offered it officially to students, faculty and staff acrosscampus in January 2011. Although they created the class with engineering students in mind,anyone on campus could register and attend.

with our library spaces.Conclusion We created the AET Library with science and engineering students in mind. As wecollect academic resources, more and more are in electronic format. Our focus will be ondelivering information about those resources and instruction on why, how and when to use themwith regards to a student or researcher's individual needs. Computers and other electronicdevices that break into the marketplaces will be our method of discovering rich scholarlyresources. We won't discount or forget past works in print, and we still want to make themavailable to discover and deliver on demand. The future is always impossible to predict, but wethink this model will serve us well
