summarize and disseminate knowledge on a researcharea. Using Mays et al. definition: “[scoping studies] aim to map rapidly the key concepts underpinning a research area and the main sources and types of evidence available, and can be undertaken as stand-alone projects in their own right, especially where an area is complex or has not been reviewed comprehensively before.” [21]This methodology has demonstrated its value when investigating topics or research areaswhere evidence takes a variety of forms thereby making other knowledge synthesismethodologies, like systematic reviews, inappropriate and where a non-systematicliterature review may lack the rigor to make actionable or credible assertions [16].In

, "Creating Ideas into Reality: Spaces and Programs thatOpen Up the Imagination." [1]In addition to learning about available resources, the librarian also wanted students to be awareof a new text messaging system through which they could ask for help as well as where thelibrarian’s office was located.The library in the past was part of a larger paper scavenger hunt in which students would learnabout all of the resources available through the College of Engineering. This hunt was timeconsuming, and many students lost interest and did not complete it. The author decided to add abit more technology and fun to the project. For Fall 2018, it was decided that a small test run ofthe augmented reality scavenger hunt in the library would conclude the college

Hack Your Library:Engage students in information literacy through a technology-themed competitionAbstract Hack Dibner is a library competition for engineering students focused on informationliteracy, technology, and user experience. The challenge statement was “To enhance userexperience in the library through technology.” Students were allowed to participate asindividuals or as teams, and were required to submit three deliverables throughout the semester:an initial concept, a written proposal, and a presentation. These deliverables required thestudents to perform a literature review to support their project ideas and to practice crafting anddelivering effective presentations. To hold the students’ interest throughout the semester

Case Western Reserve University, leads the Computation Fire Dynamics Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering since 2015. Dr. Liao’s research projects range from basic fire science (material flammability, solid pyrolysis, ignition, microgravity combustion, flame spread, etc.) to understanding fire behavior in specific situations (such as structures, spacecraft, or wildland fires). Her work has been supported by NSF, NASA, CASIS, and UL. She currently serves on the Board of Advisors in the Central State Section of the Combustion Institute. From 2013-2014, Dr. Liao worked on thermal fluids and two-phase flow problems in the petroleum industry as a consultant and as a thermo-fluids

These tools are available for student use at the libraryor to check out for later use at another location. MSL dedicated a specific space to house the toollibrary by purchasing rolling tool carts.Helping students build confidence in their abilities is a way library programs can supportengineering students. When students start an engineering internship or professional job, theiremployer often assumes the student has a basic knowledge of tools, such as using a drill orsocket set. For students who have never been exposed to tools either at home or in class, auniversity tool library program can help

As all institutions would be following the same protocol, the training included anintroduction to the project methodology, a lecture and hands-on exercises on interviewtechniques, tips on recruitment strategies, instructions and practice for coding interviewtranscripts, and guidance on writing the final report that each institution was expected to do.

research questions driving this project are “What are the research supports neededby CEE researchers during the whole research lifecycle?” and “What can academic libraries do toimprove services to meet these needs?” We specifically focus on the faculty members who areconducting research in the Civil and Environmental Engineering field at a private university. Thisresearch is part of a larger series of studies coordinated by Ithaka S+R1 on the research supportneeds of scholars by discipline.This study used a grounded theory guided approach consisting of the initial and focused codingsteps. Grounded theory is defined by Corbin and Strauss [10] as “a specific methodologydeveloped by Glaser, Strauss and Strutzel [11] for the purpose of building theory

However, there is no requirement that theentry be a photograph. Submissions have also included other forms of digitally created visualrepresentations of student work.Certain types of research projects, such as work with vulnerable populations or wildlife cameras,don’t allow for high-resolution photography. Graduate students have shown exceptionalcreativity in finding ways to create, combine or enhance images to convey the essence of theirwork. However, after several entries had to be disqualified for lack of compliance with thetechnical

A rubric was used to assess the use of images instudent presentations for two criteria: 1) attribution and 2) use of images that have appropriateCreative Commons license, have public domain status, or are original creations. Studentscompleted an initial lab presentation early in the semester with no information fluencyinstruction. Students then received direct in-person instruction in the ethical use of imagery froma librarian specifically

It wasdesigned to be the kick-off event for a series of follow-up research roundtables that were smallerand took a deeper dive into specific topics. The Research Speed Dating event, as the nameimplies, followed a speed dating-style format. In order to facilitate the rotation of a large groupover the span of 2 hours, participants were assigned to small groups of around 5 people, witheach group having 7 minutes to meet with an individual from the Libraries who specialized in aspecific topic: starting a research project

In the Campus Center we were able to hand out many promotional tickets to peoplewalking by but not many students or faculty stopped to ask questions or talk with us. Locationsin other academic buildings were not as successful either. In the more social study areas ofdepartment buildings, students were busy working on projects with others and not interested inus. Quiet study areas were the same. The change over of classes appeared to be a good time tobe in the department buildings, however, most students were in a hurry to or from class anddidn’t have time

Similarly, a strong librarian-facultyrelationship with the faculty member teaching the senior level class has allowed introduction ofthe advanced videos in the design class. The videos also have an active learning component, asstudents are asked to complete activities after viewing them (either taking a quiz or completing areflection exercise).We believe that insights from the interviews could inform other librarians’ information literacyinstruction, as well. We will continue refining the video modules in our project through collectingstudent feedback.References:[1] L. L. Hardesty, Faculty and the Library: The Undergraduate Experience.
