had trouble incorporating GL andstandards effectively into their senior capstone projects benefited greatly from a particularpedagogical intervention in their library instruction session [6]. A common theme from thesearticles is that students find it tricky to identify and access GL, and they are eager to learn theseskills. Librarians need to be equipped to help our patrons and therefore need to be well-versed inhow to find and access these resources as well.In 2001, at a moment when the internet was drastically revolutionizing how people produced anddisseminated GL materials, Thompson provided a set of key strategies for finding a number ofdifferent formats of commonly used GL, such as technical reports, standards, militaryspecifications and
rising.Unfortunately, it can take many years for professionals unfamiliar with technical standards tobecome fully proficient when relying on industry to provide such education [2]. Therefore,technical standards education must be deployed in the United States with higher quality andfrequency than in the past. To ensure this happens a deeper understanding of the currentchallenges facing technical standards education is necessary.MethodsThis paper is the second in a project aimed at providing technical standards education toundergraduate engineers. It analyzes the free response data collected from the survey publishedin [7]. Appropriate human subjects' approval was obtained through the [IRB-23-07511-XM].SurveyA Google Forms survey was disseminated: (1) to gauge
over the world face. Knowledge,including sources for materials and techniques, are passed down orally. Additionally, theIndigenous Peoples even though they are oral cultures, they also have what Western Europeanculture calls “trade secrets” or proprietary information. This proprietary knowledge is onlyshared with those designated within the Tribe to know the information. Part of the challengefacing all storage and retrieval sources is to have a way to index proprietary information withpublic terms to make it discoverable and available to those allowed to know.Currently, with efforts to revive ancient knowledge, it is helpful to find what we know has beenwritten about the specific engineering projects of the past. Most of this literature is
sufficient data on the information skill level of transferstudents. Therefore, the librarians chose to study this topic with a survey of incoming transferstudents. Ultimately, Grigg found that a partnership with the Transfer Student Office was a major“win” of the project as that would be necessary to continue to grow library outreach efforts fortransfer students [10]. This paper demonstrates that librarians need to consider transfer studentswhen it comes to information literacy instruction. It also highlights the importance of librarianspartnering with the appropriate groups and people outside of the library to ensure long-termsuccess.Gregor and McBridge also talk about the importance of building relationships with units outsideof the library to
), the work currently in progress, and the potential future direction. In addition, Iengage with some of the existing work on critical citation practice so that it can be madeavailable to the larger LIS community.This paper documents the efforts that have been put in place, so far, around implementingcitation justice education at UMD Libraries and potential future direction these projects couldtake. I focus on a partnership with the faculty and graduate students of the Civil andEnvironmental Engineering Department (CEE) who were receptive to expanding their scholarlycommunication practices to include aspects of citation justice.Critical CitationCitation is a mainstay of academia and the world of scholarly publication.

receiving his degree in fire protection engineering from the University of Maryland in 2009, he joined the Nonreactor Nuclear Division (NNFD) at ORNL as a fire protection system engineer and designer. In this role, he developed his skills as a system engineer overseeing the design, installation and modification of unique FP systems protecting special nuclear materials. To better his understanding of the additional hazards and specialized operations of NNFD, Mr. Landmesser earned a master’s degree in nuclear engineering. For the past five years, he has served as a design engineer and project manager for the Laboratory Modernization Division (LMD) supporting new construction and modernization of existing infrastructure.

this work was done longitudinally across anundergraduate’s career as a student and has found that identity as an engineer is lowest as a first-year student. Capobianco et al. found that women who had a strong institutional identity andaffinity were more likely to persist in the field and see themselves as engineers [16, p. 111].These women also had a strong academic affinity that seemed to “surpass their genderedidentity” [16, p.112].MethodsThe research in this study is part of two larger studies into the success of First Year Experience(FYE) Courses. In 2019, research into information literacy and the embedded librarian begun.This project was then subsumed under a larger university-wide grant and followed theInstitutional Review Board (IRB
implementations through the Massachusetts Health Information Exchange. At Wentworth, Dr. Feldman is focused on project-based instruction, hands-on simulations, experiential learning approaches, and first year curriculum. Dr. Feldman is one of the lead instructors for Introduction to Engineering courses, with enrollments in the hundreds each fall. His research and teaching interests, in addition to first year engineering, include telemedicine, health informatics, rehabilitation engineering, and medical robotics. Dr. Feldman has collaborated with researchers and engineers from organizations including Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine, Boston Children’s Hospital, Vecnacares, and Restoreskills.Miss Callie Cherry, Wentworth

Some expressions of ableism are overt andaggressive, such as violence, housing discrimination, derogatory language and insults, oravoidance and exclusion [42], [43]. Other variations are more subtle, such as expressions of pity,paternalism, unearned or exaggerated praise, unwanted assistance, or “inspiration porn,” whichrefers to depictions of disabled people used to inspire and motivate nondisabled people [42],[44].2According to their website, Sins Invalid is Sins Invalid is “a disability justice performance project that centerspeople of

The Directory of College Engineering Library PersonnelIn 1948, the Executive Committee of the Engineering School Libraries Section (ESLS) of theAssociation of College and Reference Libraries (ACRL), which was chaired by Madeline Gibsonof the Michigan College of Mining and Technology, decided to compile a directory of librarystaff and faculty associated with academic engineering libraries in the U.S. and Canada. Manylibrary staff directories had been published previously but this was the first to focus onengineering libraries. The project was
