toassign them busy work or other assignments that would not contribute to their major projects inthe course. It was also important to have the students write and/or revise previous writing duringas many classes as possible. Our solution to this was to distribute the sections for their finalwriting project throughout the semester. The mid-term paper, then, would contain any sectionswe had already covered together in class and the students had received peer and instructorfeedback on by that time. All assignments were prescribed with a detailed rubric for evaluation,which the authors encouraged the students to use as guidelines for producing quality writtenwork. As the semester proceeded, students were also asked for feedback on the rubrics

graduate students' feelings of belonging in the library by using signatureevents as the cornerstone to create a stable framework for additional outreach opportunities. Thisstrategy allows for a dynamic and responsive approach to outreach, ensuring that the libraryremains a welcoming and supportive space for STEM and health graduate students throughouttheir academic journey. The creation of graduate-specific events and targeted efforts to shareimportant support information is key to helping students balance their personal and academicwellbeing. Allowing students the opportunity to engage with their peers beyond the classroomwhile offering low-stress resources can increase their own academic belonging and identity.Graduate students arrive on campus

Educational Platform for Student and Professional EngineersAbstractThis Work in Progress Evidence-Based Practice paper aims to present the electronic Resources forEngineering Formation (e-REF).Engineering is grounded in the principles of science and mathematics, yet the ability to communicateeffectively through writing remains equally vital for its advancement. In today's engineering practice,professionals must be proficient not only in technical skills but also in retrieving and evaluating reliablesources of information such as journal articles, patents, books, and industry standards. Thesecompetencies are critical in addressing engineering problems and ensure solutions are built upon accurate,peer-reviewed, and reliable information. Additionally

that theyare specialized, interdisciplinary, and uncommon at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.As a result, librarians or subject specialists who liaise with these areas can encounter a lack ofresources and knowledge to support the students and faculty in these programs. A group oflibrarians who have NAMOE programs as part of their institutions recently started a dedicatedgroup, combining elements of communities of practice and peer group mentoring to discuss howbest to support these programs and each other as professionals with varying experience in thissubject area. Plans include the development of a resource similar to chapters in Osif’s Using theEngineering Literature, a crucial source for librarians supporting engineering

access to academic literature,which they saw as being provided by their lecturers.Where gender was included as a variable, often some attempt was made to look fordifferences between women and men. However, only two papers in this review found anysuch differences. The first was based on self-assessment of information literacy, and foundthat female undergraduates rated themselves as more competent in information literacy thantheir male peers [64]. This contradicted earlier findings from a similar self-assessment studybased on different but comparable IL criteria, which found that women undergraduates ratedthemselves as less competent than male undergraduates [70].The second paper was based on citation analysis of student work [71]. This study

DisabilitiesBackground – The transition into higher education from high school presents numerouschallenges for students with disabilities. In the United States, regulatory support changesdramatically in this transitional period; students who could previously rely on accommodationsguaranteed under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) now must rely solelyon the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, whichguarantee fewer educational accommodations.Purpose/Hypothesis - Unique challenges with accessibility in STEM disciplines contribute to adisparity in persistence between students with disabilities and their peers. Libraries are uniquelypositioned to provide resources and foster inclusive learning that

many people do not disclose their disabilitiesto their employers [9]. Additionally, the NCSES report shows that disabled people in STEMoccupations have lower levels of degree attainment, earn less money, and are less likely to beemployed on a full-time basis than their non-disabled peers[8].STEM librarians provide vital access to resources, learning spaces, library instruction, andresearch support for campus communities. They can support disabled students’ success byintegrating inclusive practices that make library resources and services accessible to all.However, many educators – including librarians – often do not implement accessible practiceslike those recommended in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) [10]. Instead, they rely ondisability
