Whenconstruction begins, the entire mathematics collection will be moved and housed in a temporarylocation for the duration of the building restoration project. This presentation aims to sharepreliminary information on the collection management processes utilized to realign the physicalbound collection to a size that can be accommodated in the transitional space. Due to the historicsignificance of the library, this information will be shared through the scope of preservation,including strategies that have succeeded and issues encountered, in order to provide insight tothis process and initiate dialog with fellow librarians in similar situations.IntroductionIn

efforts and the successes and challenges encountered as we work toaddress business research needs in the engineering curriculum.Introduction and Literature ReviewThe teaching of business competencies to engineering students is exploding in engineeringeducation due to a variety of factors. First, there is a critical need to develop professional skills,including leadership, communication and teamwork, and capabilities for “real-world”engineering design and operations, along with learning the core math, science, and technicalaspects of engineering [1], [2]. Interviews and surveys of early-career engineers revealed notonly technical skills were needed but also skills for industry, like complex project managementand soft skills, that newcomers had to

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

While it is still a work in progress, the authors wanted to focus onthe methodology chosen to undertake this study, as well as the current status of the researchbeing conducted. The topic itself arose from several conversations at the 2019 ASEE conferencein Tampa where the authors were curious about the landscape of engineering librarianshippublications, focusing on what research methods were typically being used by engineeringlibrarians in their research and how appropriate and well were these approaches being explained.Explorations of the types of studies typically conducted by librarians has been discussed, studiedand editorialized from many years [1]–[4] but the focus in most of the papers examined seemedto be

Ultimately three core themes emerged: student literature research skills,project-based learning, and electronic access to materials and resources. Recommendations foradditional research and future librarian collaborations, as well as faculty outreach, are prescribed.IntroductionSubject librarians, also referred to as liaison librarians, frequently assist with library researchskills and library resource instruction in the realm of academic librarianship.

). Its purpose is to combine information literacy skills with thescientific method. It approaches the process of assessing sources by using the following steps: • Define context. • Find a source. • Use any Evaluative Framework (like CRAAP, RADAR, or CCOW). • Critique/Apply the Scientific Method.CEI can be used as an overall framework for finding and assessing literature intended to be usedin research projects [10]. In addition to the actual evaluation process, students are able todetermine the context of the information using their own knowledge of their profession. As theylearn more about their chosen discipline, they can use CEI to improve their information literacyskills [11]. CEI makes an effort to consider the needs of

In addition, the difficulty of creating one’s decision-making schema naturally becomes greater as the number of possible tools or approachesincrease, or as the decisions otherwise become more complex.Having years of practical experience is not the only possible way to build a level of expertise thatincludes conditional knowledge. Swan, Plummer, and West [4] contend that intentional focus onbuilding conditional knowledge can help improve the level of expertise developed in a universityprogram. Problem-based learning, capstone projects, and other teaching methods 1 may all helpstrengthen student conditional knowledge [5], [6], to a greater or lesser extent.Another instructional
