DataOverall, the data show that, regardless of status (i.e., student or faculty), respondents who useChatGPT for academic or research purposes viewed it as more accurate and more useful thanthose who use ChatGPT for personal or career related purposes. The data also show that bothstudents and faculty are critical of ChatGPT’s ability to answer engineering questions,particularly as questions were more complex or open-ended.Designing Observation SessionsWhile a survey provides useful insights regarding preferences and behaviors, the authors of thisproceeding recognize that it is also important to make direct observations and measurementswith regards to information-seeking behavior and information literacy and not to assume allself-reported information

In his book, Academic Ableism,Timothy Dolmage [2017] provides an in-depth exploration of the history of ableism in academia,where disabled people have long been treated as inferior or faulty specimens to be studied, ratherthan as vibrant, valuable, contributing members of the scholarly community [40]. Althoughdisabled students and scholars gained a certain degree of legal protection in educational settingsunder the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990, this protection did little to change thefact that post-secondary environments are designed for non-disabled

Engineering Research in Transition: Assessing Research Behavior while Adapting to Access Changes to Library ResourcesAbstractEngineering faculty and graduate students are accustomed to accessing the online full-text ofsources through search tools that rely on subscription-based access through their universitylibraries, open access platforms, as well as through less official access routes. After our libraryimplemented a change in access to content through Elsevier, a publisher that provides access tomany engineering scholarly journals, we used this natural experiment to explore thiscommunity’s information seeking behaviors. We recruited a group of engineering faculty andgraduate students to participate in an observational study to see what
