they could alter or adapt workshops in order to best serve this patron group [11]. Inorder to attract students to services, a recent trend in library outreach is gamification [12].Turning orientation or information literacy sessions into games not only entices students toparticipate, but also encourages them to “interact with information for problem solving anddiscovery-based learning when using the library to conduct research for class” [13]. Gamification and project-based learning are very common approaches to education inengineering. Since the engineering discipline is primarily an applied science, experiments andcompetitions challenge students to apply concepts learned in the classroom. Project-basedlearning develops valuable

DMP typically addresses the following major topics: 1) Data that will be created, 2) Datadocumentation and organization, 3) Data storage and security, 4) Data management andpreservation after project completion, and 5) Data accessibility for reuse and sharing. TheseRDM courses typically include a student assignment or term project to develop a DMP. ThisDMP assignment is usually focused on the graduate student’s research project with a goal ofhelping the student manage their research data. While the broad array of RDM education approaches and courses from the literature havefocused on the consensus of teaching graduate students how to write a DMP, there is notconsensus in the RDM courses discussed in the literature over exactly what

Parker [15] describes a liaising model of informationfluency instruction in which a librarian participates in teaching six class sessions, assessesstudent assignments, and assists with assignment and curriculum development. For a groupdesign project, Roberts and Bhatt [16] used a combination of online tutorials and a required one-on-one consultation with a librarian. In addition, students were provided with library hostedwebpages about engineering research. Instructors noted general improvement in the quality ofinformation sources. Students responded well to the presence of the library instruction with 75%of students responding that the online tutorial was helpful and 72% of students responding thatthe

Using GIS and participatory community mapping, she explores the impact of civil and environmental choices on the design of the sustainable city. Trained in architecture and urban design, her research spans education and practice, working on the integration of community research into project based learning. Her work overlaps areas of GIS mapping, global sustainable urbanism, design and cre- ativity.

One issue with this model is itrequires all the students and several libraries to be together at the same space and time.Other gamifying projects have been done in a more asynchronous video game format, such asvideo games created at Rowan University for their freshman engineering clinics (Gulotta). Thesevideo games use a scaffolding model, which means the challenges become harder as they movethrough the program, and allow the users to

Considering that individualstudents approach the librarians for instruction on topics such as strategies for literature reviews,or that individual faculty members approach the librarians for instruction to the students in theirlabs on topics such as best resources for researching specific subjects or instruction on citationmanagement applications, one might reasonably conclude that there is an unmet need for a broadinstruction program.

The authors agreed not to accept a statement ofeffectiveness from the paper authors, rather the paper needed to include some measure of studentlearning gain, which could be done by pre/post measures, or some comparison between groupssuch as, qualitative measure with a
