One long-standing collaborator has been the campus incubator, Velocity,which attracts many students from the Faculty of Engineering. Each semester, theEntrepreneurship Librarian provided a standalone research workshop, encouraging students toresearch their innovative ideas deeply before jumping to provide solutions. While this workshopwas always well-attended, the impact

Institutionsthat made this easy simply provided a spreadsheet with textbook (title, authors, ISBN) andcourse information (course code, department code). Institutions that made this difficult providedno consolidated list, and only allowed access to reserve lists through individual queries. Librarystaff interested in promoting this kind of research—particularly for internal curriculumdevelopment efforts—can provide reserve list information in a consolidated form, such as aspreadsheet.

results of the collaboration showed that having a sustained series ofinformation literacy instruction over the term increased students’ proficiency in research [1]. Thefaculty and librarian felt that the first-year engineering students needed to move beyond the goalof just improving their information literacy skills and move to where students should learn moreabout the research process, more specifically, how research is conducted in their chosenengineering field. It was decided to embed the librarian within the curricular unit, whichconsisted of five instruction sessions culminating in a literature review based on researchconducted by faculty members in the College of Engineering.ObjectivesThe objective of the research was to evaluate the impact

The designer created graphics andanimations that helped convey the information in the modules in an interesting and attractivemanner. Additionally, the designer created and embedded captions in all videos to help withaccessibility.The modules were rolled out as they were developed over the course of the Fall 2022 semester inan undergraduate business class and two undergraduate engineering technology classes

If we can understand thepsychology of a task through observing how people think and act in real-world situations, we candevise more effective solutions for the real problem [18]. In this study, we use CTA to explore STEM students’ real-world pain points with search.Fourteen undergraduate students from the College of Engineering and the College of Sciencesand Arts completed several library searches during one library instruction session. We used aself-report method for knowledge elicitation and data collection. Our Institutional Review Board(IRB) confirmed that an IRB review was not needed since we

This can be difficult with one shot instruction, but this feedback can be insightful in designing future instruction. • Evolution - The designer can look beyond student assessments and consider their own reflections as they seek to improve the course. Writing a short reflection after you teach, especially if you try something new, may be valuable in helping you to reflect and improve.Three Examples of INCLUSIVE ADDIE in Information Literacy Instruction in the

However, not much in the literature explores how else librarians cansupport faculty teaching needs beyond information literacy. This paper compares the results oftwo separate studies conducted by the author that examined the teaching needs of faculty frombusiness and engineering. Business faculty were interviewed as part of a multi-site study in 2018led by Ithaka S+R, while the engineering faculty study was done separately by the author in2020.

This literature review highlights severalvariations of survey, interview, and focus group methodologies. Most focus on specificsubgroups of engineering students, such as members of the LGBTQIA+ community [2] orEnglish language learners [3]. Even without the confines of a degree program, finding arepresentative sample or moving beyond convenience sampling is difficult, so one unifyingtheme is small sample sizes. When examining user centered research in engineering libraries, there are numerousexamples of small studies focusing on students belonging to specific

This most often is done by using the PROXIMITY commands as WITH, NEAR, or PRE that specify that the words to the left and right must be within so many words of each other. Software allowing such proximity flexibility is to be a desired feature of the programming.Designing nomenclature and classifications systems for Tribal Archives and Collections toaccommodate both Indigenous Culture and the related dominant culture material is aschallenging as using the dominant culture’s existing databases.
