resource factors [3]. The medical information community believes it is ethically responsibleto share clinical trial data [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]. An analysis of 160reviewed articles published in the

all tests in the subjects of mathematics, probability and statistics, ethics and professionalpractice, and engineering economics [5]. Figure 1 shows a timeline which summarizes the majorchanges to the FE exam.The computer-based FE exam is administered through Pearson Vue test centers (during fourtesting windows: Jan-Feb, Apr-May, Jul-Aug, Oct-Nov), which maintains hundreds of NCEES-approved test centers both in the U.S. and at international locations [5]. Starting in 2017, thecomputer-based FE introduced a new testing component called alternative item types (AITs),which are questions other than traditional multiple-choice questions [11]. In 2018, theexamination fee was reduced from $225 to $175 [5].The only reference material that may be used

Respondents indicated that,in the Library Services section, they included library facilities, collections (including budgets andimportant resources), services (instruction, reference help availability, and LibGuides).Learning outcomes addressed by librarians beside 3.g, included 3.i: an understanding of andcommitment to address professional and ethical responsibilities including a respect for diversity,and 3.k: a commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement. Additionally, thereare program criteria specific to Mechanical Engineering Technology, which include, startingwith the 2018-2019 criteria [21], e) Basic

oflibrarians started offering classes in both English and French in 2010, and integrated more activepedagogies. Throughout these transformations, the University’s senior leadership alwaysapproved the proposed changes and maintained the mandatory information literacy training.Students participating in the training sessions filled teaching evaluation surveys, for which theresults are presented in this paper. The surveys asked the students about their degree ofsatisfaction regarding the different objectives of the training sessions, namely defining aninformation need, building and optimizing a search strategy, finding information sources relevantto their field, and learning how to ethically use information. The surveys also asked whethersufficient time

support continuing someoutreach methods, streamlining workflows to exclusively use interlibrary loan as a request andfulfillment system, and the need to periodically train interlibrary loan staff. We also recommendthat discoverability of standards in our collection should be improved through catalogingimprovements and creation of finding aids for different audiences.IntroductionWhen designing something for human use, there is often a free-wheeling, creative phase that isunbounded by reality. However, at some point in the implementation of the design, constraintsbecome a part of the creator(s) process, whether it be the laws of physics, available materials, oran agreed-upon convention, ethical limit, or rule. Standards documents represent one form

Inthis way, we likewise encourage these students to continue to keep learning over their 30-year-long professional career.3.0 Lifelong Learning Background The goals of the information literacy components of the communication course aresimilar to those of Feldmann and Feldmann’s [6] assignment for their class, which are thefollowing: to make students aware of the rich store of information available; to help the studentslearn the basic skills needed to locate their needed information; to encourage team-basedinteraction on their project; to understand the ethics of

range, and include the budget in an appendix to the primary report as well. The limitedbudget forced students to (in some instances dramatically) reconsider their recommendations,now striking a balance between satisfying their client and meeting ethical obligations to deliver asafe final product to consumers.The project as whole reflects a number of innovative pedagogical approaches that dependedentirely on the full integration of instructors, researchers, and librarians: the entirety of thepedagogical case study, including the syllabus schedule, the assignments, the instructionallesson, and the assessment was developed collaboratively. This unique approach provides thebasis for the authors’ results and discussion.Results and DiscussionAt the
