Who belongs in engineering? Where do libraries fitinto this conversation? Many scholars have explored the concept of outreach, inclusion,accessibility, and belonging in STEM fields. This project examines a collection of these works,using a library of literature as a corpus

The more experienced researchers, not only faculty participants but also graduatestudents who had spent several years in their program, did not initially focus on the article titles,but instead were looking for authors they knew and respected as well as journals they valued. Forexample, after seeing an author they recognized in the results list, one participant made thiscomment, “I know this person's name and so he is a very good person in the civil engineeringdomain

The deans were asked to think paststatements including “this is how we have always done this” in formulating ideas and addressinglong-standing and perhaps weaponized traditions that stifle interdisciplinary creativity in highereducation. One major aspect of this is the role of a university research library. Often thought ofas a knowledge repository that is seldom used by faculty, staff and students, aside from book andjournal requests, there were no deep dialogues from the academic colleges with the library.

What services and supports are offered may also depend on an individuallibraries’ priorities.ConclusionThe initial intent for this study was to consider the tension engineers may experience when facedwith data deposit when they are working with industry partners. However, the literature andsurvey results reveal a more complex relationship between engineers and data sharing. Theliterature and survey found a willingness to share, but putting this into practice is quitechallenging. It is perhaps not too surprising to learn that researchers are comfortable informallysharing data by request, or more formally attaching it to a publication where the journal canmanage data access or provide a link to a supplementary file.

As a new department on campus that sought to bring the benefits of a diversity ofdisciplines into engineering, it was the right place and time for a new multidisciplinary courseproposal.

The findings reveal that CENS researchers expressedwillingness to share their data, but the majority of participants were only willing to share undercertain conditions, which included getting credit, being allowed to retain initial publicationrights, sharing only if the effort to do so was minimal, or if the requestor is known to the group,or if mandated by funder or journal

Notably, theabove examples all focus on a librarian supporting teaching initiatives in mostly traditional ways.However, in recent years the literature has trended towards examples where librarians aresupporting students and faculty beyond the established norms: “Changing technologies,environments, and needs have shaped the role of the academic librarian into less about resourcesand more about
