twice, inpart to give a baseline presentation on finding information, including a discussion on what is“information” and how to incorporate specialized information into their research, including livedexperiences. For the fourth-year capstone project, the librarian is an active member andparticipant of the teaching team.The collaborations developed with the Engineering Wellness Coordinators also exemplify thevalue of long-term sustained efforts to build and maintain relationships. Through repeatedinteractions it allowed a camaraderie to evolve, which encouraged open and honest discussionsregarding the successes and challenges of helping students. Through years of communication asolid foundation was established, fostering a mutual respect and

students as underprepared for the information needs of the workplace. A2023 AAC&U survey of 1,010 executives and hiring managers reported that 70% of respondentsviewed “locating and evaluating information from a variety of sources” as a very important skillfor new hires, but only 54% of respondents reported that students are well-prepared with thisskill [8].To help address student IL skill gaps, engineering librarians have long integrated instruction intocourses to support senior capstone projects and other assignments, which has shown to improvethe quality of students' final projects and increase the number of references cited [9], [10].However, often academic IL instruction is highly focused on supporting the specific courseassignments

As part of a series of strategic planning exercises, the Dean of Libraries offeredunparalleled access to resources and facilities in the Mitchell Memorial Library. Engineering wasvery interested to foster incubator spaces to support departmental design and capstone courses,interdisciplinary projects between engineering departments, and cross-college collaborations infields such as cross laminated timber (a large industry in the Southeastern United States,involving the College of Architecture, Art and Design; the College of Forest Resources; and theBagley College of Engineering).

tounderstand how different types of engineering literature can be used to discover the backgroundand current trends in a topic of choice, learn how to find relevant standards, technical reports,and patents in their field using both library and real-world resources, and how to properly citewhat they find in their own final reports. Students will have already been through the first-yearseminar session and will be expected to already know the topics that were discussed then. Thelesson emphasizes the following aspects of the INCLUSIVE ADDIE framework: • Needs – models and encourages discovery, student led-learning, and communicating findings. • Context – the capstone-level course revolves around completing a project (either in groups

falling behind on this.9. Construct a protocol for a systematic review in engineering a. Systematic and scoping reviews are gaining in popularity in the engineering literature. Many of our engineering graduate programs incorporate systematic or scoping reviews (types of evidence synthesis) in their graduate degrees - sometimes as qualifying exams, preliminary exams, dissertation chapters, capstone projects, or within a course. The construction of a protocol is a key first step in an evidence synthesis project that is often skipped in these assignments for the sake of time. When students learn the purpose of protocols and practice making one, they will understand the process of

unused orunanalyzed, except perhaps in the most basic way. Dark data is distinguished from “tangibledata,” the data of which researchers are aware and are able to use [1]. This study attempts toconvert a small amount of the information collected by an academic library from dark data totangible date.Arizona State University (ASU) provides an Ask a Librarian service through which students,faculty, researchers, and the public may interact with a library personnel, both librarians andparaprofessionals, through live chat to answer questions ranging from the simple (when is thelibrary open?) to complex (I would like to perform a literature review about the use of electronicresearch notebooks in engineering capstone courses). While simpler questions

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
