starting a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering scheduled to begin fall 2018.College leadership chose mechanical over other fields in engineering based on student demandand the support of local industry based on the current and future job market in the area.This comes during a time of unprecedented growth for DSU, which was granted Universitystatus in 2013. In fall 2017, Dixie State had the highest enrollment percentage increase amongUtah’s public colleges and universities for its second consecutive year. During 2016-2017,consistent with the DSU strategic plan the university added seven new baccalaureate majors andplans to add five more (including mechanical engineering) in the next year, along with its firstthree master’s programs [2

resourcegaps if a school or program experienced a poor enrollment and a lower budget. In general,library collection development decisions were driven by budget policies rather than byuser need.In 2011, KSL formed a task force consisting of faculty and several librarians. The goalwas to create a collection and budget strategy that adapted with new research needs andreflected a fairness in meeting all faculty expectations for access to databases, journals,and books (i.e. prevent subscription inflation from overtaking the book budget). The taskforce proposed a plan that was approved by the Faculty Senate. The plan allowedlibrarians to decide how to allocate collection development budget dollars, since they

chats asked exactly where the noise was located, he was ableto identify areas where loud spaces (such as the bathrooms, elevators, and group study rooms)abut quiet zones as the most problematic spaces [6]. 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]. Electronic resources better suit today’s

ASEE Annual Conference 2018Introduction:Research Data Management (RDM) is an important competency that is beneficial for graduateand undergraduate students across the disciplines. Not only are many funding agencies requiringa Data Management Plan (DMP) for new grant proposals [1,2,3,4], there is also a shift towarddata driven research, data driven analyses, data visualization and new distributed computationalsystems that use “big data”. One piece of data management is metadata and the problems thatinsufficient or bad

USB drives. Sincecomputer manufacturers are phasing out optical drives, users now have few options forusing library materials that are formatted on disks of any kind. This “technologicalobsolescence” has prompted the engineering librarians at U-M to investigate how tocontinue providing access to materials that are published on computer disk in a future agewhere computer users will not have the required hardware or software available forreading the disks. Working with the library’s Digital Preservation Librarian, theengineering librarians will determine which of the engineering resources that are publishedin disk format must be preserved, and they will plan for best practices for preservation of,and access to, the selected resources.

• Piloting two sections of a flipped classroom approach of information literacy instruction for deployment across all sections, traditional and online. This pilot included: o Creating a series of information literacy videos on understanding important engineering subjects such as scholarly and professional literature, standards, and patents o Implementing active learning curriculum focused on information literacy via 5 25-minute sessions strategically planned throughout the semester o Developing an assessment instrument to gauge the impacts on student learning outcomes of flipped versus traditional one-shot instruction.The task was conceptualized broadly as

By lookingat students who are doing research and those who are not as two separate populations, the surveymay identify needs for instruction that go beyond common library instruction topics such asliterature reviews and the library had not previously considered. This paper will summarize theresults of the survey and discuss plans for implementation of an instruction program ofinformation literacy topics.BackgroundIn fall semester 2017, a group of graduate students in the College of Engineering (CoE) at theUniversity of Michigan (U-M) were awarded a community grant from the U-M Rackhamgraduate

The IEEE team in China alsoemphasizes the role of interactive games in user engagement and has explored variousways of using social media to design interactive games and online competitions.The author believes that the best library activities should be planned and led byend-users themselves. The ACRL 2017 report encourages collaborative instructionalactivities and suggests libraries working with other campus units such as writingcenter and tutoring services to promote student learning [10].

semester.Participants In Phase I of the study, all students who were enrolled in the university’s Introduction toEngineering course (ENGR 1201 or ETGR 1201) during the Fall 2017 semester were invited toparticipate. In all, there were 576 students enrolled in these courses and 10 individuals elected toparticipate with a 1.7% response rate, much lower than desired and anticipated. Because thenumber of participants was lower than desired in Phase I, the recruitment plan for Spring 2018was revised to include participation incentives - $5.00 restaurant gift cards to a nearby fast foodrestaurant offered to ​all ​individuals who agree to participate as well as a chance to win one of six$25 gift cards to the campus bookstore. In Phase I, the 10 study

excluded because a control or comparison group was not includedto establish “effectiveness” of the intervention. An example of this type of exclusion is a citationanalysis performed after an intervention with no baseline or other comparison. Overall, theauthors note the EIL literature frequently reports descriptive statistics, showing that data hasbeen gathered, but sometimes falls short of a full analysis that allows the researchers to drawmeaningful/well-grounded conclusions from the data. The authors plan to complete a fullanalysis of the papers identified for inclusion and publish the results in a journal article.References[1] C. Torgeson, J. Hall, and K.

that led to their evaluation to the rest of the class. For most students this was the onlyrequired library session in the first year; library collaboration with other core courses was moresporadic at the time. Following this initial one-shot session, few students followed up withlibrarians later in the semester to discuss the sources or research for their design project.Late in 2016, the teaching and library team determined the current lesson plan wasn’t the mosteffective way to convey content or effectively support students’ work on their projects. While theactivity was helpful, faculty felt it became repetitive for students after the first 2-3 teams haddiscussed their assigned article and website. A one-shot session wasn’t the best use of

Engineering, thedirector’s approach to these six areas was, perhaps, somewhat more outwardly focused than itmight otherwise have been. Her direction from the start was in first attempting to uncover andknit together existing users and user-groups, existing user skills and existing spatial interests andcommonalities. The difference between what was originally described and how the approachwas actually taken is of interest not only as a model for GIS practices in a library but for broaderdevelopment of inter-disciplinary work across the library and university.The position was initially developed to provide leadership in planning, developing and managinginterdisciplinary GIS services, instruction, programs and collections. This was re-focused by

and potential collaborationbetween engineering librarians and mechanical engineering faculty. For the course in this study,the plan for next year will be to use these instructional activities again. It also has started thediscussion of where additional library collaboration earlier in the mechanical engineeringprogram would be appropriate and beneficial. This additional exposure and training will buildfamiliarity with information fluency skills, which may be perceived as difficult, but are essentialin the professional environment.Works Cited[1] G.
