The policy requires Canadian post-secondary institutions to develop anInstitutional RDM Strategy to support and guide researchers funded by one or more of the Tri-Agencies. Researchers will be required to provide a Data Management Plan (DMP) and
STEMClassroomEngineering First-Year Seminar Library Session (In-Person, online, or hybrid)This lesson plan is for first year students and is applicable to both in person, online, and hybridclasses. At the end of the session, students will be able to identify resources offered by thelibrary, use beginner database search strategies to find articles and ebooks, and know how toaccess additional library support. The lesson emphasizes the following aspects of theINCLUSIVE ADDIE framework: • Needs - models and encourages discovery, student led-learning, and communicating findings. • Context - when used by the authors of this paper, the students have an upcoming assignment in their class where they need to find an article. • Lessons – lesson uses
from discussions with both presenting librarians as well as personalaccess to the slides. The presentation begins by defining DEI and discussing the importance ofDEI to the UMD campus as well as the expectation that it be included. One of the main pointswas that while the department of engineering was succeeding in attracting a diverse studentbody, it wasn’t necessarily doing well in retaining these students. Like the other modules, thereis also an overview of citation justice. The presentation includes a focus on how this related toCEE’s strategic plan as well as how libraries and librarians can help. This includes individualhelp with workflows and resources that help a researcher to implement citation justice but alsoan overview of the
vital courseinformation being relayed during office hours, which sometimes conflict with otherresponsibilities. Burnout among undergraduates was a recurring theme in all focus groups. According to respondents, students are overloaded with work, family, and school, so theymust prioritize their focus day-to-day. They feel like they could always be doing more, and theyreported very little time available for decompression and relaxation. Students who also had towork part-time jobs felt even more stressed and were more likely to take advantage of recordedlectures and office hours when they were working more hours. Planning course schedules forupcoming quarters is anxiety-provoking since the availability of classes changes from quarter
identifiedthemes that libraries can use to contribute to the academic success of students with disabilities.Results –We evaluated the composition of the dataset, determining the most highly cited authorsand publications related to this topic. We also used theme analyses to identify terms that haveincreased or decreased in usage over time. The results can also provide insights into futureresearch directions related to the transition to higher education for students with disabilities.Conclusions – Our analysis yielded several insights for librarians in higher education, includingfocus on universal design in both instruction planning and space allocation, opportunities foroutreach and engagement with campus entities supporting students with disabilities, and
research topics to aid in strategic decision making, andimpact services and reputational management.In its 2020 report, ACRL Research Planning and Review Committee summarized that majortrends include: learning analytics, the influence of machine learning and artificial intelligence ontechnology, the impact of big deals cancellations on open access and transformative publisheragreements, research data maturation and the ethical need to incorporate the GO FAIR Initiative,social justice roles including critical librarianship and critical pedagogy, incorporating increaseduse and licensing of streaming media, and finally, library space as a place for supporting studentwell-being [1].

The authors found some interestingrelationships that can inform future projects, but they also plan to re-investigate this corpus witha more robust analytical tool to search for additional insights.Future research may make use of more robust analytical tools to delve further into this corpusand examine trends over time. That work will inform research to better understand howbelonging, STEM, and libraries are linked. The authors also plan to explore a variety ofdisciplines within the STEM fields to better understand the inclusion needs of students acrosscurriculum.Citations[1] M.

For example, intheir 2009 article, librarians Chodock and Dollinger discuss their use of what they call“Universal Design for Information Literacy (UDIL),” a library-specific application of UDL.Zhong (2012) offered a UDL-based lesson plan to teach Boolean search strategies [56].Subsequent literature has expanded on this work, addressing topics such as general overviews ofdisability inclusion and UDL in LIS [57], [58], [59], [60], [61], gradual implementation of UDLpractices into teaching [54], staff and faculty training [62], [63], website information
members' pressure to focus theirtime on producing a substantial volume of grant-funded research publications and the effortexpended to develop a new course or modify an existing course [2]. Felder and Brentrecommended the following considerations for STEM instructors who evaluate textbook options: ● book reviews, ● match of content and the content order to the course plan, ● instructor supports (test question banks, illustrations, and other materials to support lectures), ● learner supports (self-tests, practice problems with answers), ● inclusion of multimedia (illustrations, tutorials, equations), and ● cost to students [2].However, newer faculty may be advised to replicate what their peers have already developed orto

The Engineering Foundation program at the pilotuniversity aims to introduce students to a broad range of engineering related concepts.Students who successfully pass this year are automatically accepted onto any of theuniversity’s engineering degree courses or may choose to apply to different universities. Thiswas initially Rose’s plan: she had hoped to study at a different university (which shedescribed as her “dream university”), but had been told that she would need to complete afoundation year first, which her dream university did not offer. She therefore
