Information Literacy in Graduate Course Term PapersAbstractThe Materials Processing course at Northeastern University enrolls both Master’s level studentswith a concentration in Materials and undergraduates who select the course as an elective fortheir combined BS/MS degree. For the term project, students work in teams to research and writea journal-quality review article detailing the state of the art for a particular process. This studyaimed to assess students’ information literacy (IL) skills as demonstrated in this term project toidentify IL skills with which graduate and upper-level undergraduate students may need moresupport. A secondary goal was to examine any differences in information between theundergraduate and

both legally andless legally. One of the key research projects published on engineering academics’ informationbehaviors from this time was a multi-institution study conducted in 2009 surveying engineeringfaculty members’ perceptions of a range of library services. The authors found a high degree ofvariability in participants’ responses across institutions, but the perceived importance ofelectronic access to current and archived scholarly journals was a consistent theme. Interlibraryloan services and library databases were chosen as the next most important library services, butthese services were selected much less frequently than electronic journals (Engel et al., 2011;Robbins et al., 2011).

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

Additionally, theIndigenous Peoples even though they are oral cultures, they also have what Western Europeanculture calls “trade secrets” or proprietary information. This proprietary knowledge is onlyshared with those designated within the Tribe to know the information. Part of the challengefacing all storage and retrieval sources is to have a way to index proprietary information withpublic terms to make it discoverable and available to those allowed to know.Currently, with efforts to revive ancient knowledge, it is helpful to find what we know has beenwritten about the specific engineering projects of the past.

I focus on a partnership with the faculty and graduate students of the Civil andEnvironmental Engineering Department (CEE) who were receptive to expanding their scholarlycommunication practices to include aspects of citation justice.Critical CitationCitation is a mainstay of academia and the world of scholarly publication.
