.IntroductionSince the announcement from the National Science Foundation that all grant funding proposalssubmitted after January 2011 must include a data management plan (DMP), academic librarieshave experimented with ways of providing support and education for researchers at theirinstitutions. At the University of Minnesota, we saw strong demand for guidance on writing andcomplying with this requirement. This high level of interest required a cross-disciplinaryapproach to teaching data management skills1. Although successful, this instructional approachdid not facilitate in-depth, domain-specific skill building. Starting in October 2011, theUniversity of Minnesota, along with partners at Purdue University, the University of Oregon andCornell University

andadoption among faculty within engineering regardless of discipline.Blackboard’s Lesson Plan tool enables one to introduce lessons or units of instruction tostudents, and helps to articulate specific information related to the lesson, such as theinstructional level and the subject area, as well as learning outcomes and core competenciesaddressed by the lesson.A link to the learning module was housed inside the lesson plan. A learning module inBlackboard is a tool that enables content, assessment, and communication tools to be packagedand displayed within one unit of organized instruction. Items within a learning module arepresented sequentially in a path determined by the faculty or instructional designer; however,faculty can choose whether

skillslike engineering design and calculations. It also encourages academic, personal, and professionaldevelopment, through assignments designed to foster teamwork, project planning, and oral andwritten communication skills within a multi-disciplinary format.    To successfully complete this course, the student must be able to:   1 Demonstrate a basic understanding of the engineering design process by successfully designing, constructing, and testing a solution that meets specific requirements and performance specifications.   2 Successfully apply knowledge of basic engineering mathematics to the problem-solving process.   3 Productively contribute as a member of a multidisciplinary team

, and was the main library service point for the campus.With Hunt Library in the planning and construction stages, a remote reference program, named“Ask Us Here” (branded similarly to the Libraries’ “Ask Us” chat reference service and the “AskUs” integrated service point in Hunt Library) was launched in Fall 2010. The program wouldprovide reference services to engineering students and faculty, in their spaces and at point ofneed. The engineering students' mix of technological savvy and confidence in their ownproblem-solving skills, coupled with their distance from the main campus and its central library, Page 23.1390.2makes them more reluctant

overarching narrative to help students recognizewhat constitutes data falsification, data fabrication, and plagiarism (FFP). These three topics areof great importance to learning what the NSF and many other research bodies refer to asResponsible Conduct of Research (RCR). Students who play all three games also have theability to acquire a certificate of completion.Grant PhasesThis 24-month grant project ran from September 2010 to August 2012. Due to the significantworkload and short funding period, the project was broken down into 5 major phases and aninitial month by month plan (Table 1) guided progress towards project goals: • Page 23.1316.2

previous section, even the proximity in printed textbooks is far from ideal. In thebooks studied, 36.6 percent of the references were to objects that were not proximate (see Table3). Page 23.1008.7Intelligent digital composition should be able to overcome this limitation. For example, a devicescreen could be divided into two windows – one with the text being read, and the other withreferenced material. With high resolution note-pad devices, 100 percent proximity should beachievable. This type of next-generation e-textbook could improve proximity and potentiallyimprove student learning as compared to printed textbooks. In planning research

For a medical device that has recently been approved bythe FDA, they are required to develop a business plan for a possible commercialization of thatproduct. What type of assistance can an experienced librarian provide to the new librarian?How can Web 2.0 tools help students keep current with the latest developments in medicaldevices? Increased cognizance of alerting services available from resources such as ASCE, IEEEXplore,Web of Knowledge, ScienceDirect and Engineering Village, is the crucial first step intheir effective use by faculty and students.The experienced librarian can initiate conversations highlighting case

Students also completed a graded plagiarism tutorial and quiz. The assessmentresults have been much better. This paper will focus on the changes in the information sessionsand delivery methods, provide assessment data for each area, and chronicle the steps taken to setup this successful collaborative effort with the engineering instructors.IntroductionThe opportunity to teach library information literacy skills to all freshman engineering studentsin ENGR 101, Engineering Problem Solving I, began in spring 2011.

Live demonstrations involve sharing the computer desktop or a particular application. Open applications beforehand and prepare browsers at websites of interest to prevent dead time. Just as with face-to-face sessions, you can present case studies or prompt students for topic suggestions if illustrating search tools. It can be distracting for participants to move back and forth from applications to the web conferencing software so it may require more planning in advance. Try to slow down when demonstrating, since there may be a delay between what the

literacy is commonly referenced as an increasingly important 21st century skillneeded in today's knowledge-based economy. ABET’s criterion 3.i declares that students have“a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.” Shuman,Besterfield-Sacre, and McGourty1 propose several attributes of lifelong learning, including“follow a learning plan; identify, retrieve, and organize information; understand and remembernew information; demonstrate critical thinking skills; and reflect on one’s own understanding.”These criteria align well with the core concepts of information literacy. Information literacy ismost popularly defined by the American Library Association as set of skills that enables theability to recognize the need

Access points related to consultations with archivists and media librarians wereadded in Spring 2012.Working with campus institutional research staff, we were able to correlate Fall 2011 library usewith higher term GPA and retention for first year students while controlling for other variablesrelated to student success.1 The Student Success line of inquiry is useful for demonstrating thatsuccessful students do find value in the library. However, as students move beyond their firstyear, the factors contributing to student success become increasingly complex and interrelated.Therefore, while we continue to collect first year data and plan to check the correlation strengtheach semester, we are not
