engineering researchers at U of T and Waterloo are engaged in a diversearray of research activities involving multidisciplinary, multi-researcher teams. While bothlibraries offer a number of services that researchers expressed an interest in, promotion of theseservices is evidently lacking. This study highlights a need to improve communications andenhance services, especially in the training of graduate students. It also highlights areas wherethe library should continue to focus efforts, such as with research data management, open accesscompliance, and articulating research impact beyond traditional bibliometric measures. Some ofthese challenges are complicated, especially those related to research data management, andrequire a multi-layered
