university researchers in the UK, France, andTurkey. The three countries were, at the time of the study, at very different moments of datasharing policy development and implementation. They found that researchers harbored concernsabout data sharing, mostly related to ethics (67.5%), but also misuse and misinterpretation ofdata, and fear of losing the scientific edge. They also had a lack of understanding regarding thenecessary steps for making data publicly accessible. The study underscored the need forsubstantial training and advocacy efforts to actualize the vision of widespread data sharing.There have been explorations on research data management best practices in the U.S. context aswell. Wiley [9] examined data management perspectives of

benefits in using it as a tool to help summarize literature while alsowarning that it is still not ready for clinical use.The remainder of this proceeding will be split into two major sections followed by concludingremarks. The first section will provide details on a survey conducted in the summer and fall of2023 that explored current trends and opinions among an engineering student body with regardsto generative AI and ChatGPT. The second section proposes a methodology for a rigorous studythat explores the impact of ChatGPT on the information-seeking behavior of engineeringstudents based on a “think out loud” observational approach. In this section, there will be a focuson how the proposed research instrument was designed, the purpose of each

public research university developed and piloted a suite of micro-learning informationliteracy modules with micro-credentialing for undergraduate students. The topics covered in themodules include (1) effective information-gathering strategies, (2) competitive analysis, (3)patent information, (4) industry standards, and (5) informed communication. The foundationalmodules, created with stakeholder feedback from industry professionals, entrepreneurs,instructors, and students, are designed for instructors to use in their classes without directlibrarian intervention. The micro-credentialing component allows students to share the digitalbadges they earn with potential employers via LinkedIn and other platforms. The modules andcontent are designed to

efforts to document and promote the use of evidence-based pedagogy (aka research-basedinstructional strategies, high-impact practices, etc.) in STEM focus on classroom and laboratoryactivities but also do note some updated instructional materials (IM) and a few textbooks thatadopted best practices from disciplinary educational research [5]. Textbook selection practices,particularly OER adoption, have been studied for STEM courses, including engineeringmechanics [7] and health sciences [4]. Other OER-related research includes the positive effectson student learning outcomes [1], efforts to design OER [8], how OER could be better curated inrepositories [9], and detailed case studies [10].For some STEM instructors, there is tension between faculty

The researchers used an initial group email invitation with personal follow-up emails abouttwo weeks later. Ultimately, the researchers had a 45% author response rate (35 of 77). Surveyresponses from the two authors of this paper are included in the set of 35 responses. The surveybegan with a consent statement, but as the survey was not distributed to students

variety ofliterature to determine best practices and to establish procedures for the upcoming study. Somebest practices gleaned from the review include identifying the library's mission or what is theoverarching purpose of the library service. Next, determining objectives that meet the missionstatement. Finally, developing indicators that demonstrate if the objectives were being met.The literature review allowed the researchers to understand the data collection process. Librariesnaturally collect data – gate count, circulation statistics, event attendance – that can be used asindicators. However, developing tools to augment these traditional metrics is a challenge. Thetools that a library can implement are endless - surveys, interactive displays

columnfor a wellness-themed newsletter produced for graduate students and distributed via internalemail lists not publicly available. Being trusted with this access not only helps the Library’sinformation stand out, but also adds credibility due to the departments’ tacit reinforcement of theinformation’s value. This newsletter is written in a conversational and positive way,encouraging humor and designed with bright colors and images. Compared to official universitycommunications which can be rigid or impersonal, this tone helps with engagement byhumanizing the librarian to the readers and emphasizing the approachability of the Library. Tomatch this tone, the guest column was titled “Research Tips and Tricks” and introduced keystrategies and

Participant responses highlight five reasons technicalstandards education is important: safety/best practice, practical application, expectations of theprofession, employment and business, and foundation/career development.IntroductionThe development, use, and education of technical standards have blossomed in the past fewdecades. While these documents bring great order and structure to the engineering field andbeyond, major challenges persist for users, educators, and students.In general, technical standards are agreed-upon procedures, tests, and protocols established in awritten format through consensus among a group of interested and expert

towards specific tasks. Importantly, custom instructions, user uploadedfiles, and inputs given to custom GPT instances are not used to train the underlying foundationmodels, GPT-4 in this case. Building custom GPTs is still new and there is much to learn aboutcreating instances of GPT4 designed to assist with specific tasks. Due to their ability to optimizeon a narrow task, custom GPTs were determined to be the best option for this project. Thecustom GPT was designed specifically to extract citations from MET capstone project reports viaimages of their bibliographies. Screenshots of the bibliographies were saved as local image filesand uploaded to the custom GPT one at a time to extract and build the citation information.While this worked well
