We feel it has been a successful endeavor, with active learningand an interactive instruction platform helping with engagement in the one-shot classroom.As mentioned, moving forward, we aim to assess library impact more concretely, using ourlearning management system to distribute pre- and post-test surveys to students to gain a fullerawareness of the effect that our library session has on these students. We aim to assess the keytakeaways from the lesson, such as using the Everything Search, getting citations from itemrecords, and the resources and services

While our search did reveal several papers on engineeringtextbooks and open textbooks, none focused on the cost of textbooks for engineering students.While this paper examines the cost of textbooks from the perspective of engineering students, itdoes not focus solely on engineering textbooks.In the fall of 2022, the Dartmouth Library and the Thayer School of

changed, adapting to new technologiesand curricula. A global pandemic had upended familiar classroom structures and studentexpectations. The library viewed any engagement with the SoE as a “fresh start” in terms of theirrelationship but wanted to make the engagement as meaningful as possible. To do that, thelibrary needed to re-build our understanding of the SoE, students’ lived experiences, whatstudents considered research, how they learned best, and what they viewed as challenges to theirprocess. We needed to listen first. We describe this user centered approach as a “Listening First” strategy, since ourresearch relied on broad, open-ended questions as opposed to surveys with predeterminedanswers or scales.

They use the libraryfor both individual and group study, reference services, computer use, and meeting andsocializing [4,5].Engineering students are somewhat unique compared to students in other disciplines. They tendto search for information themselves rather than ask a librarian for assistance [6]. Engineeringstudents participate in both individual and group study on a regular basis but they also engage inmore individual study than non-STEM majors [7].Academic libraries use space studies to understand how their spaces are used by students [8].

On-the-jobinformation needs move at a more rapid pace and employers provide less specific guidance thanacademic instructors, making it difficult for new university graduates to solve informationproblems [1]. For engineering and technology students, workplace information use involves lessof the sources that are traditionally emphasized in academia (e.g., peer reviewed journal articles,books) and more of the resources heavily relied upon in industry, such as technical standards [2],[3], [4], [5]. Additionally, workplace projects require a high degree of interpersonal informationgathering and communication with colleagues [6], [7].Recent research from American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) indicatesthat employers view

In some companies, technical standards education and engagement are shunned. Inothers, it is seen as a political process with an indeterminate outcome [3]. Therefore, employeesare discouraged from participating in the technical standards development process or are requiredto sacrifice their personal time to volunteer for such efforts [2]. This deterrence fromparticipation in the standards development and standardization process creates additionaleducational challenges for professionals and students

Other OER-related research includes the positive effectson student learning outcomes [1], efforts to design OER [8], how OER could be better curated inrepositories [9], and detailed case studies [10].For some STEM instructors, there is tension between faculty
