relation to thetransition to higher education and/or adulthood and for a focus on students with disabilities.Most retained items discussed transition planning, setting and achieving post-secondary goals, orexperiences of students pre- and post-transition. Additionally, to gain a fuller understanding ofthe post-secondary transition as well as the skills and supports necessary to help students withdisabilities succeed in higher education, included items covered the following: 1. Broad exploration of students with disabilities setting and achieving post-secondary goals and ambitions, such as careers and higher education. 2. Examinations of adult skill development as students in higher education often must live independently and develop

importance, but did not studythe actual use of these collections or services. For example, while 69% of faculty in their studyindicated that library databases were important or very important, there was no correspondingassessment of these faculty members' actual use of library databases.A multi-institution interview study organized by Ithaka S+R of civil and environmentalengineering faculty found that researchers preferred to use Google and Google Scholar for arange of information needs including finding datasets, gray literature, and scholarly articles(Cooper et al., 2019). Similarly, in an interview-based study with early career life sciences andengineering faculty at a single institution, researchers found that faculty in their study

earned, career histories, professional memberships, and publications. Much of thisinformation is not available from other sources.Although an increasing number of articles and books on academic engineering librarianship werepublished from the 1930s onward, few discussed the roles, qualifications, or work experiences ofengineering librarians. Few librarians from the period published biographies or articles abouttheir careers and work experiences. Modern librarians know much about historical engineeringinformation resources and how engineering libraries in the post-war period were organized,thanks to research published by librarians [4], student library handbooks [5, 6], and libraryannual reports [7]. However, we know very little about the

students discussed challenges in theirprograms. Undergraduate prioritization of internships and securing employment post-graduationhas encouraged the library to collaborate more closely with campus Career Services to provideprogramming targeting resume builders and research practices outside the academy. Graduatestudents’ experience as teaching assistants was associated with a great deal of anxiety – both dueto lack of confidence with course content, as well as time management concerns. Instructors relyheavily on teaching assistant’s availability, and many teaching assistants are not discouragedfrom working more than their contracted hours. These reports indicate a substantial gap insupport for first year graduate students in SoE. We

usingtrial and error to fine tune their IM selections over time (Go It Alone). We also found complexPower dynamics were involved. Instructors often teach more than one course over an academicyear or a career, and thus we expected to see multiple strategies mentioned. As noted earlier,there is expected overlap between responses and instructors in the Power and the Peers andColleagues themes. However, we did not see overlap between instructors with responses in thePower or the Go It Alone themes. Perhaps those who employ a Go It Alone strategy for their IMselection also opt to teach courses without a strong Power dynamic at play. Also, one instructor'sresponses are in both the Go It Alone and the Peers and Colleagues themes, as they use a mix ofself

isnot limited to engineering. 41 documents focus on engineering, making it just under half of theentire corpus. The authors did not limit the documents by type other than the limitation ofscholarly works, so there are journal articles, book chapters, and dissertations included in thecorpus. Additionally, this analysis uses research on students in different stages of theireducational careers, with an eye towards understanding challenges faced by historicallymarginalized people within the STEM community. An initial summary of the corpus reveals thatthe authors analyzed 88 documents with 1,123,499 total words [5]. This analysis also shows thatthe most frequent words present throughout the entire corpus are STEM, students, science,women, and

In her prioreducation she had attended an all-girls secondary school, followed by a mixed-gender FurtherEducation college, where she was one of only a handful of girls in her maths and physicsclasses. She found this experience “completely different” and “weird,” having been used toall-female environments. During her time at the Further Education college she had attended aday of talks and workshops for women in STEM, aimed at encouraging girls aged 16-19 topursue careers in STEM fields. She found this made STEM careers feel more “relatable” toher. At university, she has no

current state of academia and focuses on actively citingauthors with historically marginalized identities in an effort to center and uplift their voices [13].Most if not all academic institutions favor those from non-marginalized backgrounds; generallyable-bodied white, cisgender, heterosexual men. This can be seen from degree recipients at alllevels [14] to faculty composition [15]. Those whose identities stray from that, especially thosewith an intersection of marginalized identities, have a more difficult time entering, building andmaintaining a career in academia [12]. Citation practices are a large contributing factor andundercitation of people with margenlized identities can be seen across disciplines [16]–[20].According to Zurn et al
