intended to give credit to the body of scholarship and research on which a new practiceis built as well as make a case for legitimacy for new work. Most universities require researchand publication of their faculty for tenure and promotion. To be successful in this process, acandidate needs to show impact. This impact is usually heavily based on citation metrics. Whilethere is a push from some, such as those in the open scholarship movement to change thispractice and put value on other metrics of impact [3], it remains a heavy driver at most academicinstitutions, meaning citation practices have broad impact on who gets recognition in academia[4]. In addition, research that is more heavily cited usually is regarded as more impactful and ismore

administration expressed the need for more professional developmentworkshops which has led to growth of the series. Additionally, as part of a Colorado statewideinter-institutional collaboration (GradCO) we are sharing a selection of these workshops beyondour own campus community. These developments have inspired the library to evaluate whetherthe series is meeting the needs of graduate students. Specifically, we are interested in expandingour scope toward career readiness for scientists and engineers entering careers in industry,research, and academia.Existing career readiness frameworks address several core competencies. To best understandwhether our workshops are meeting career readiness goals, we mapped our catalog of pastworkshops to these

, some scholarly journal literature,and technical information. It should be noted that while the course enrollment consisted ofundergraduates, individual skill sets and experiences were varied, and that had an impact on theircomfort with information engagement and use. For example, two students in the class were in theprocess of applying to graduate school, and therefore, had more experience with scholarlyjournal literature.As stated above, there were several business research needs addressed in the course, however, wewill only detail one aspect here, which was to help the students identify and define a targetconsumer. It was important for them to do this because they needed to ensure their design wassomething people would eventually buy

promotion and tenure process.Within the library, more money could be allocated to course reserves, though this is unlikely tobe the most sustainable solution. Between the library and the school of engineering, the mostequitable and long-term solution would require investing both time and money in developingopen and accessible textbooks and course materials. Overall, the focus should be on empoweringstudent’s learning, and ensuring they have access to the materials they need to meet their learningoutcomes.Future ResearchAdditional directions for research include a faculty facing survey regarding what factorsprofessors consider when choosing texts, or a study that follows the textbook expenses ofindividual engineering students and the impacts of that

period [1].ABET, founded in 1932 by seven professional engineering societies under the name Engineers’Council for Professional Development, completed this reevaluation in response to pressure fromengineering educators who felt the pre-2000 criteria were restricting educational customization.Additionally, there was further tension between the poorly meshed engineering graduates’ skillsand industry needs [2, 3]. The new agreed-upon criteria saw a transition toward specific learningoutcomes and away from facility and resource possession. An example of this can be seen in the2022-2023 ABET accreditation policy 5(d) whereby an engineering department’s curriculum isrequired to include: (d) a culminating major engineering design experience that 1

user research as anethnographic assessment, embedding themselves in engineering labs. During the study, librariansserved as a point of need for resources, mentors, and instructors during lab meetings. Thisapproach provided librarians with deep knowledge of their liaison area’s research practices, butwas limited in tracking how students, staff, and faculty responded to this exposure [12]. Outside of libraries, numerous studies have interrogated success and failures of specificengineering departments using user-centered models. Villanova University’s Engineeringprogram noted a comparatively high number of female graduates compared to the nationalaverage, and sought out students to help explain [13]. Focus groups surfaced themes of

incorporating UDL into library instruction by sharing their experience offeeling of being overwhelmed when trying to add multiple elements of UDL into theirinstruction. They recommend a slow approach of practicing one new technique or strategy at atime and that practitioners collaborate with colleagues with similar interests; communities ofpractice are helpful for instructors new to UDL to find support and encouragement as well asideas for ways to utilize the UDL framework [54], [87]. Additionally, research about UDL anddisability continually offer insights on how to improve and evolve recommended UDL practices,making it important for practitioners to regularly learn more and consider how to best support allstudents. This requires sustained dedication
