Engineering LibrariesAbstract: This article describes the marketing and outreach efforts and related assessmentactivities of the Columbia University Libraries Science & Engineering division. Our marketingand outreach plan incorporated a three step approach to connect with our user base. The stepsincluded launching a monthly newsletter, marketing our extensive electronic resources, andimplementing a robust workshop schedule. Our assessment of these activities has showncontinual growth of campus interest in our services and resources.Introduction University administrations seem to believe that the growth and accessibility of electroniccollections, justify the closure of library spaces.

The article calls for a systematicapproach towards diversity efforts, with assessment as an integral part of any program. [12]RECENT OUTREACH HISTORYMost outreach done by the Engineering Library is in collaboration with programs created by themain university library. For these events (Open House, De-stress Fest, etc.), the EngineeringLibrary acts as a satellite location, with much of the planning and direction coming down fromthe University Libraries' Outreach Coordinator. The staff has some local control, but the dates,times, and focus of the events are set by someone else.A former librarian had begun a small program

In this role, he helped develop a series of experiments for a freshman engineering course that explored introductory engineering concepts through chocolate manufacturing, and another series of experiments involving dissolvable thin films for a similar course. Alex is also the president of the Syracuse University Chapter of ASEE, and has been working diligently with his executive board to provide seminars and workshops for their fellow graduate students. Alex’s plans upon graduation involve becoming a professor or lecturer, specifically at a primarily undergraduate institution.Mr. Alexander J. Johnson

Drexel University aimed to solve noise andbehavior issues in the library by installing a Courtesy Clerk, a full time staff member whomaintains a “safe, pleasant, and courteous atmosphere in the library” [7]. Most academic libraries with noise issues are also facing space and design challenges.One of the more common problems occurred as libraries shifted to function primarily as studyspaces, or were rebranded as “learning commons,” with open floor plans and fewer—ornonexistent—book stacks [8].

All of this information would be presented tothe Board of Regents of Georgia to justify the construction of a new library (Box 5, Series 2).Crosland continued to investigate the preliminary plans with other library directors and wrote toEmerson about her concerns. Mr. John Burchard, Head of Humanities and former director oflibraries at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was invited to the campus to do a librarybuilding study. He supported Crosland’s view that the Carnegie Library was too small and that anew building was needed (Annual Report, 1949-1950).In 1951, Crosland’s dream for a larger library became a reality.

role in supporting strategic goals for diversity in American highereducation. American universities have integrated language on diversity and inclusion into theirstrategic plans focusing on hiring and research, thus articulating the importance of diversity ontheir campuses. Academic engineering librarians can consider two strategies to playing this roleeffectively. The first strategy involves three areas of activity: collection development, publicservices, and outreach. All three directly support institutional strategic goals related to researchand diversity. The importance of collection development lies in the selection of educationalresources to support academic programming and faculty/staff development. Public services(reference

In addition, some professors, who had noticed the positiveimpact of the Library IL training at the undergraduate level, requested similar training forgraduate students [24]. Moreover, the rapid development of specialized bibliographic databasesled to an increase in the number of reference questions received at the Library, even though theengineering students were accustomed to using information

Students at WPIenroll in four seven-week terms during each academic year. The Plan allows students openchoice in course work and requires them to complete three significant undergraduaterequirements: the Inquiry Seminar which is a humanities and arts course with a significantwriting requirement, typically completed in the second year, the Interactive Qualifying Project(IQP), which is the subject of our work here, typically completed in the third year, and the MajorQualifying Project (MQP) which is a project completed in the students’ major area

While both theuniversity and its libraries consider the community in their goals and plans, they are designed asorganizations for higher education.
